Ajay W. TeenzTalk Peer Leader
1. What are you passionate about?
2. What have you learned from challenges or disappointments?
3. How do you relieve stress?
4. What is happiness?

1.) PASSION: Ajay's passion is helping people in his community through volunteering for his town's ambulance core in Chappaqua, New York. "Even though it's a small role to play, I feel like in general it makes a really big difference." He aims to combine all his hobbies & interests toward a career in medicine.
2.) GROWTH: Ajay shares his story about battling depression. He talks about the gradual process of breaking away from his depressive state - from feeling lonely & not having any friends to where he is today as a much more social person, surrounded by many. "It took a couple years for me to come out of the shadows…Now I'm the most social person I can be.” 
3.) STRESS RELIEVERS:
  • hang out with friends
  • study together
  • listen to music
  • talk to people in general
  • spend time with pets
4.) HAPPINESS: Ajay emphasizes, "Happiness stems from human relationships... [It] flows from one human being to another."

About My Learning Difference
​​​

New York, USA


Ajay shares his experience with his own learning difference. He says, "At the end of the day, everybody works at a different pace. But, in reality it doesn't matter because there's no set pace for the path to success. It's what you should think of as a learning difference rather than a learning disability... One of the differences that many of us have between each other is the way we work and the pace we work at. That shouldn't make me feel inferior to anybody else by any means because like I said, there is no straight path to success and the path to success does not require a set pace."
