Ibrahim Tuyizere Profile

Ibrahim Tuyizere

I am 16 years old and live in Rugerero with my whole family: four brothers, three sisters and both parents.  I am in the second year of high school, Senior Two.

I like my parents because my parents try to show me love.  My favorite food is rice and I eat it often, but I don’t always have enough to eat.  My father works.  He builds houses.  My mother stays home with the children.

 

I like my country.  It is a good republic.  We have a good president and he makes our lives better.  I also like the country of Canada.  I want to live there one day.  I like the people who dance in Canada and who come here to help people in my country.  I think Canada is a big country where all the people can pick what they love.  They have lots of rivers and Canadians speak English and French.

 

I like to dance.  But until now, I didn’t have a teacher.  When Rebecca came here, it was the first time I learned with a teacher.  But before Rebecca, I was just listening to music and dancing on my own.  Now, I am feeling okay because I work with a teacher.

 

I want to teach dance to the children in Rugerero one day.  I want to study and I want to teach something I know well.  I could learn and teach English too.  I’d like to work and help somebody who comes from another country and then explain to him my country and our language.  I’d like to be a tour guide.

 

My daddy had a lot of children so he needs a lot of money.  It is good that he works and brings a little money back, but it’s not enough because there are so many of us.  If there is somebody who can help us, it must be a very good person there.

 

I don’t like people who are cowards.  Myself, I believe I can do anything I set out to do because I am brave.
