2020 CDC Scholarship Recipient Alaysia Cross We are proud to announce the 2020 CDC Scholarship Recipient, Ms. Alaysia Cross. Ms. Cross maintained the honor roll at DeSoto High School, while being an athletic trainer, other extracurricular activities, and working. She has many volunteer hours at Park Manor Nursing Home with her church. She also volunteers with Meals on Wheels. If she could change three things in the community and the country they would be: the health care system to be available to everyone regardless of their income; to find a cure for the COVID-19 virus; and to change the justice system to give all people a fair chance. Ms. Cross plans to attend Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, where she will major in Pre Med. She plans to pursue a career as a Physicians Assistant. |
