I am Ajaa Walker, I am an upcoming senior at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, and I am 17 years old. I play varsity basketball for my school and am also the captain. I also am a current volunteer lifeguard for the YMCA and local beaches in my neighborhoods. When I found out that my school would be creating a research team based on first-generation college students, I knew that I had to be a part of it. I am a first-gen myself and I wanted to know all the information I could possibly know about not only myself, but about others who are also first-generation college students. When I graduate Cristo Rey I want to study physical therapy and sports medicine. I love meeting new people and putting smiles on other people’s faces. I love smiling myself. Together Possible was one of the best programs that I have been a part of. I know that the research that we did and the things that we found will make a difference in not only our lives, but in others’ as well. My goal is to graduate college; there is NO other option!
