Kalyn Myers wants to go far in life, and she’s off to a fantastic start, finishing sixth in her class with a 4.0 grade point average and lots of extra-curricular activities under her belt. She calls these accomplishments a “welcome mat” for all the doors through which she plans to walk.
The first door will be the entrance to Howard University, where Kalyn plans to major in International Relations and hopes to pursue a career as a Human Rights Diplomat.
Kalyn has already racked up more than 900 hours of community service. And she knows she’s going to like college because one of her favorite memories is a tour of North Carolina State University where she was able to get to know some of her classmates better and become friends.
“The advice I would give to younger DPS students is that it's OK to make mistakes,” said Kalyn. “A mistake is just something your future self can look back upon and laugh at.”
