WHO AM I?

"Meti Kejela, an Ethiopian whose identity has been shaped by myriad and untold interactions, lessons, and aspirations. Every piece in the tapestry of my being was woven together through my surroundings, making me the grateful mentor, leader, and Christian I am today. The joy I return to my friends, the pride my family has in me, the example I set in my worship community, and the recognitions I’ve received from my school all compel me to look forward and unearth more parts of me still waiting to be discovered."
