OBSTACLES
Ayanna was born to a 13-year-old teenager as a result of rape. She watched her mother overcome challenges from being raped by her stepdad while seeing him every day because she still had to live with him because she didn’t have the means to live separately. The house was very crowded, but Ayanna could still feel the tension from her mom and biological father. Ayanna dealt with this by giving 100% to academics. The school was her favorite place because at school she didn’t have to face the reality she had at home. As a result, Ayanna had perfect attendance from Elementary through High School. Her mother told her that her brain was like a computer, so she let that fuel her determination from learning. In High School, she was inducted into the National Honors Society and she graduated college Magna Cum Laude from the Honors Program. Ayanna says, “If a 13-year-old can raise a child, get an education, have a successful career and raise the child to be successful, then anyone can be successful”. Ayanna is and was very determined to make a positive impact on this world.
