Zy, 18 years old, CA

Zy is very excited about all the new experiences life has to offer. As a first-generation college student, she is motivated to break generational barriers. Zy grew up in foster care and later moved to her aunt's home. Her upbringing was tough and had many challenges, but she persevered through every obstacle she faced. Outside of school, Zy has a part-time job that she has loved for the past two years, and she enjoys playing basketball. While it can be difficult to manage both work and school, she makes it work.
