Tell me your name &a little bit about yourself.
Ezinna Adiele, I'm 17 years of age, GPA: 4.625 from Baltimore, Maryland, I'm Nigerian-American
What motivates you?
What motivates me is really within myself, not really any external forces. I look within my self and understood the intellectual assets I was blessed with , and I realize that I can not let my blessings go to waste; which is what motivates me to reach my goals.
Do you believe you are naturally smart, or did you have to work a little harder to get to where you are?
Ah this is an interesting question, and I don't want to come off as cocky either but luckily for me, I do feel as if I've always been "naturally smart", but that is not to say that I haven't been challenged or have to work harder because sometimes my "natural" intelligence wasn't enough.
What schools were you accepted to?
A lot, so i'll just name a few. UC Berkeley, Northwestern University, Boston College, Emory University, American University, GWU, Temple University, University of Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, University of Virginia, Fordham University, Hofstra... and many more!!
What school(s) have you decided on/ leading more towards? At the moment I can not say.
How has your family responded to your accomplishments?
Interestingly, there hasn't been much surprise or celebration as my mother, sister, and grandmother expected nothing less from me.
What are your hobbies?
Writing for magazines, conducting research, watching Ted Talks, political activism, doing makeup, and shopping.
What do you want to major in?
International Relations and Global Health with a minor in Political Science
What do you want to do for a living?
There is not one singular thing i want to do for a living because i want to be multi-faceted. I want to get my J.D. and M.D. In 6 years and practice International Medical Law & become a U.S. Diplomat and work in the UN.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to get as many scholarship offers as you?
There are literally scholarships everywhere, stay on top of your schedule , meet deadlines, and keep searching until you can't search anymore! It is a lot of work but worth it at the end of the day.
Are you happy?
happy but still stressed out about which college to choose lol!
