Cadet Kenneth Walker is training to serve his country in honor of his deceased mother.

19-year-old Cadet Kenneth Walker has goals of serving as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army one day, but he鈥檚 had to overcome a lot of adversity in his life to get to that point. Walker was born to a teenage mother and grew up in some rough areas on the Southside of Atlanta, Georgia. He lived in a trailer with his mother and three siblings. When he was four-years-old, Walker was sent to live with his Grandfather, Harold Gant, because his mother was unable to take care of him or his siblings. Walker says it was also painful to watch his brother be sent to foster care.

鈥淲e made the most of our situation, said Cadet Kenneth Walker. 鈥淢y sisters and I stuck together. Once I got to my Grandad鈥檚 house that鈥檚 when I started going to school and I did really well in school. It was a better living situation because he could feed and clothe us.鈥�

While living with his Grandfather, Walker says their neighborhood was infested with gangs and drugs. Tragedy struck in 2006 when the only father figure that Walker ever knew passed away. When he was 8-years-old his Grandfather, Harold Gant, died in 2006 from Prostate Cancer. A year later, tragedy struck again on October, 18, 2007 when his mother, Harriett Gant, died at 28-years-old from a heart attack.

鈥淢y Grandfather was the only dad I knew,鈥� said Cadet Walker. 鈥淪o when he died I didn鈥檛 really have anybody. When my mom died it was really bad. I thought the world was going to end.鈥�

Walker and his siblings were forced to live back and forth between different relatives for several years. He finally found stability living with an Uncle and Aunt and was transferred from South Atlanta High School to Forest Park High School. Despite the obstacles in his life, Walker was able to graduate from Forest Park High School in 2016 with a 3.82 GPA. He heard about 麻豆传媒Porn (麻豆传媒Porn) through a Recruitment Sustainment Program through the United States Army National Guard.

鈥淗onestly, I wasn鈥檛 really planning on going to college,鈥� said Cadet Walker. 鈥淓ven though I had a 3.8 GPA in high school, I didn鈥檛 take the SAT, ASVAB, or any of that seriously. My plan was to originally go active duty in the Army as a mechanic. I was on a tour at 麻豆传媒Porn and Master Sergeant (MSG) Joseph Thomas came to me and started talking to me about the State Service Scholarship and I was interested in 麻豆传媒Porn from there. 麻豆传媒Porn has taught me discipline, leadership, and has exposed me to different cultures. 鈥�

Cadet Walker currently serves in the Georgia National Guard as a State Service Cadet at 麻豆传媒Porn. He鈥檚 also pursuing a General Studies degree at 麻豆传媒Porn and hopes to obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Criminal Justice at a four-year college/university. He wants to finish school to make his mother proud.

鈥淢y mom didn鈥檛 finish college and I didn鈥檛 really get to know and love her like a child should love their mom, so I just thought that maybe she鈥檇 be proud of me if I finished college and got a degree because that was something that she couldn鈥檛 do.鈥�
