Jai, 29 years old

Wish submitted by:

This wish is not only important for Jai, but her family. After migrating to this country with little opportunity, her family made sacrifices for her to have the opportunity to attain higher education with less resistance than they'd faced. As the first to attain a high school diploma, Jai is honored that she will also be the first in her family to receive a bachelor's degree. Receiving a bachelor's degree in Microbiology will allow Jai to follow her dreams of becoming an infectious disease scientist overseas. Considering all that has happened with the pandemic, her plans are to pursue a Ph.D in Global Infectious Disease and hopefully help to solve some infectious disease issues in Africa, Asia and throughout the Caribbean. Having this wish granted will allow Jai to obtain her bachelor's degree! She is looking forward to walking across the stage June 11, 2022 and continuing to pursue her dreams of becoming a research scientist.
