1.Victor Agbafe

Victor Agbafe was accepted to all eight Ivy League schools, as well as Stanford University. In the end, Agbafe decided to attend Harvard University, setting him on the path to his dream of becoming a neurosurgeon.

Agbafe, a student at Cape Fear Academy in Wilmington, North Carolina, is the son of Nigerian immigrants. The high school valedictorian says his mother and father raised him with a strong support system and always encouraged him to push himself to do his best.

Agbafe says that his parents never put limits on the amount of success he could achieve.
“My parents know that here in America, the educational opportunities and opportunities for social advancement are just unparalleled,” he says. “From the very beginning, they’ve always said, ‘You’re the only person who can limit yourself.’

From the sacrifices they made to come here and create a good life for me, to the sacrifices many social advocates here in the US made 50 years ago — [my parents] have always told me that there’s no excuse not to do well.”
