"The Rhonda Walker Foundation has been a major asset to my life. It has exposed me, not only to people who could actually help me throughout my life and future career, but to a strong bond of sisterhood that can never be broken. Whether it's learning how to ski, zip-lining, or etiquette class, the Rhonda Walker Foundation has offered me opportunities that I would have never imagined getting. I found my voice, gained confidence within myself, and I am currently growing into the strong and responsible woman I am meant to be. If I had never been in this foundation, I would have never been close to the person that I am today.

My dream is to become an astronaut, so I can inspire other young girls from Detroit by showing them that the sky is not the limit. I applied to Western Michigan University, Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Oakland University, Tuskegee University, Wayne State University, Grand Valley State University, Saginaw Valley State University, and Oakland Community College, and I got accepted into all nine! In the fall of 2018, I plan to attend Central Michigan University with a major in Physics and a minor in American Sign Language."
