I’m really passionate about public health, from my clubs and extracurriculars, I love giving back to the community and learning about how we can solve problems that stunt growth in our community. I hope to focus on diseases that impact other countries with a focus on Africa and women. I also want to participate in Peace Corps in college. My dream is to go into Global Health Law and eventually work for the United Nations. Consider myself and advocate of social justice and a health community.

Essays (Topics I’m considering writing about)
-The main focus of my essays are just taking action in society and how that has really influenced my extracurriculars. I am really all about taking action and not limiting ourselves to what we think we can or cannot do. The whole point of being privileged is to help those who are in need so they can be raised up. I hope that’s what my application speaks about how I see an issue and what I can do to change it
-Talk about my own experience with issue and struggles, the basic stuff haha. I really want to talk about how living with my mom and being alone all the struggles we’ve had together and how that’s morphed me into the being that I am
-Talking about traveling to Nigeria as a kid and how that has influenced my passion for making a change. I’ve always wanted to make a change in life and I believe that, that was where it sparked
-My dad’s business being a a target in the Ferguson riots back in the Summer of 2014
-Being a Nigerian-American and how I’ve had to overcome discrimination and fight through it?
-Just want to depict me within a person I really want to talk about myself as a human and who I am
