Kelbyn, 22 years old, Originally from New York City, Attends New Heights Neighborhood Center in Washington Heights

My name is Kelbyn. I was borned in New York City and I am 22 years old. I am a very unique person. I like to go out and just walk around to get a better view of things. I used to live in Florida for the past two years. My family decided to move out of New York to try something new. Recently, we decided to come back to New York, because we really did not like there.

The reason why I dropped out of high school was because I was to busy having fun with my friends and I never went to class. I was always hanging out in the hallways just chillin. Now, I am doing what it is right for me. I am attending New Heights Neighborhood Center to obtain my GED.

My goal for the future is to go to college and become a nurse. I also would like to have my own little family. I believe that by participating in the Global Potential program, I will be able to help people in need and give back to my own country.
