My name is Deja Applewhaite, I am 16 years old and I attend Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. I am very energetic person whom likes to have fun. I live with my mother, father and two brothers. My favorite subjects in school are English and Math. I love learning about different math concepts and the importance of math in our lives. My enthusiasm for math is part of the reason why I became involved with YPP. I want to be able to give back to my community and work with younger students. I think that it is very important that we help younger students try and become the best that they can be. In the future I was to be a pediatrician and work on improving the lives of babies. Since I have been involved with YPP I feel that I have grown as a person and I have learned a lot from my peers and my CMLWs.
