When I was a student I used to be a good volleyball player. But internally I wanted to become a dancer and singer. - Mereb Estifanos

I would not know because I was just a beginner, but many people were: including my parents whom at first hesitated with me pursuing acting rather than my studies, matter of fact afterwards they encouraged me to discover my talent and work on it.

They see it positively. My father and mother especially encourage me a lot. They remind me to keep the time of my rehearsal, etc.

I grew up in Asmara, as a kid I was very quiet and silent and very active at school, I remember how scoring low marks would leave me disappointed so to prevent this I was always stuck with my books aiming to score high marks. I was a member of the volleyball team at school; I actually loved this sport so I played till high school but later I totally dropped it off.
