鈱猈hat is one piece of advice you would give an incoming freshman?
There are a lot of things I could say, but I would start with really go in with an open mind to experience and learn new things because when you鈥檙e close minded and you have made the conclusion that you don鈥檛 like math or you don鈥檛 like English or you鈥檙e not going to try in that class, it restricts you from doing good in that class. Be open minded in anything you do. Be open to getting those experiences. And don鈥檛 procrastinate. It鈥檚 something that can affect your grades. You should be determined and focused, especially if you have goals for yourself. It鈥檚 important to stay focused and determined. You can reach your goals if you鈥檙e persistent about it.
鈱狪f you were a superhero, which one would you be and why?
WandaVision. I just like her energy, especially the show she was the main star of. She had to do to get what she wanted. Sure, it wasn鈥檛 the right means, because people couldn鈥檛 live their lives. She has the power to control her narrative, her story. I think that鈥檚 a big thing in this world. We have the power to control how we live, and we should take control and make that happen. Also, she has telekinesis and lasers.
鈱猈hat are you most excited about after graduation?
Just to experience new things. It鈥檚 kind of scary leaving a sheltered environment and going to a university with new people. It鈥檚 that experience you can get, the stories you can tell your kids and everyone as you grow older. You鈥檙e making fun memories. It鈥檚 very exciting.
鈱猈ho inspires you the most and why?
My parents just because growing up they didn鈥檛 have much, and they have done everything in their power to make sure myself and my siblings have a better life than they did. They brought us to America to get an opportunity they didn鈥檛 have back home where I鈥檓 from in Nigeria. I can take inspiration from that. They dared to be great. They鈥檙e inspiring.
鈱猈hat鈥檚 been your favorite high school memory?
When it was after class and me and my two other friends we were in the library, and we just had taken a test and we were destressing and we were making jokes and watching shows that were funny and thinking about when funny things were happening and we were just laughing at the top of our lungs. I enjoy that because it was a way to come together and destress because exams can be really stressful.
