Who am I?

When I came to Belgium ten months ago, I was Mikayla, a 16 year old American girl.

That has changed. I am no longer just that Mikayla.

I am not just American. I am Korean/Australian, Canadian, Mexican, Indian, and Belgian.

I am a rhéto.

I am an adult.

I am a world traveler, and I have become a global citizen.

I am bilingual.

I am part of a bigger picture.

I am a New Yorker (thanks Em-Bem).

I am free.

I am a revolutionary.

I am a teacher.

I am a giver.

I am a dreamer.

I am a learner.

I am a laugher and a crier.

I am full of hope.

But most importantly, I am Mikayla, and I have become who I am meant to be.
