WETATi believes that "impossibility is not a declaration, it's only a dare."

"Now I see what you mean Dr. Dureke when you said we should take entrepreneurship and practical soft skill programs like WETATi 's seriously when I was in school no matter what the  field of  major we choose because I graduated from Bowie State University last December and still don't have  a job and don't know what to do, one year later...."Jalil.
