be a medical engineer, disclosed
that she would study medicine
as a second degree. “I feel very honoured and I feel
it is an opportunity to work
harder. I know that I have to
justify the offer. I chose
Syracuse University because it
has a very good research lab and the offer came with $
51,000 scholarship. I have
always loved Biology, Chemistry,
Physics and Geography. “My hope is to study medicine
for a second degree, but I
would love to be a medical
engineer. Most of the medical
equipment in the country are
imported and I would like a situation where medical
equipment is manufactured here
in Nigeria. “My parents are my role
models, but I am also inspired
by anyone who is hard working,
anyone who puts so much
efforts into what they do,” she
said. Serena Omo-Lamai is not the
first of Nigerian teenagers to
achieve an educational feat of
such magnitude, it would be
recalled that High school senior
Harold Ekeh didn’t just get into one Ivy League university. He
was accepted into all eight. Ekeh got into all 13 schools he
applied to, including MIT and
Johns Hopkins. “I am leaning toward Yale,” he
told CNNMoney. “I competed at
Yale for Model UN, and I like the
passion people at Yale had.” Some of the Yale students he
met became his friends and
mentors, offering advice on the
college application process. Now
Ekeh is trying to do the same
thing. READ ALSO: Revealed: How Nigerian parents plan to crumble
FG’s tuition hike for schools Ekeh, 17, founded a college
mentoring program at his
school, Elmont Memorial High
School on Long Island in the
New York city suburbs. His goal
is to get more students into top universities. The Nigeria born teenager came
to the United states when he
was eight. He wrote his main
college essay about the
struggle to adjust, including
being clueless in US history classes at school. He said he
would ask his parents
repeatedly why they moved. “We had a fairly comfortable
life in Nigeria, but they told me
we moved to America for the
opportunities like the
educational opportunities,” he
recalled. CNNMoney reports that the
salutatorian is quick to credit
his parents, school and
community for his success. “I am very humbled by this,”
Ekeh said in an interview. “It’s
not just for me, but for my
school and community. We can
accomplish great things here.” visit http://davesblog.over-blog.com/2016/08/nigerian-girl-gets-admission-to-13-universities.html
