About Me

Rosetta
My name is Rosetta Metz. The purpose of this blog is to share what's going on in our communities. I hope to educate others on how they can give back to our communities and hopefully I will learn how to do the same. I encourage people to talk about issues that are important to them and hopefully solutions to help others will result.

Who Am I?

I was born in South Euclid, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, and grew up there with my noisy and rowdy family: my parents (Ann and Arvel), my sister (Sandy), and my three brothers (Dennis, Doug and Tom).



When I was young, I wanted to be many things when I grew up: a painter, an ice skater, a singer, a teacher, and a reporter. It soon became apparent that I had little drawing talent, very limited tolerance for falling on ice, and absolutely no ability to stay on key while singing. I also soon learned that I would make a terrible reporter because when I di
dn't like the facts, I changed them.
