Celine Jilani

        It is difficult to to describe Celine in a short little paragraph. Celine is one of the first people I met during our Student Orientation Leader training  days. She pronounced my name in way that no one else had. It flowed off her tongue like it was not foreign to her. She grew up in Jerusalem, where my name was common. Unlike many others she sought to learn about me with such eagerness, never stopping for a breath. Weeks passed and Celine and my friendship grew as if we'd known each other for years. We'd faceTime each other for hours talking about theology.

​

     Celine has this aura of pure joy radiating off of her. Her smile and laughter never seems to sees. She is, without a doubt, one of the most smartest, outgoing, caring, and understanding person I know. I look forward to see how save lives in the next decade.
