Wells Fargo Scholarship
Samantha was born in the humid and bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria. The fun and amusing but tough city made her resilient. She is the only child and grew up in the suburbs of Lagos. She moved schools several times before settling at an educationally-tasking secondary boarding school. She moved to the United States at 13 and completed her high school education. She is a devoted member of the American Red Cross and the YWCA. She enjoys playing soccer, knitting, listening to science fiction podcasts, and writing embarrassing novels. She will attend Howard University after completing her associate degree and hopes to become an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority member. She aims to become a cardiologist and help thousands of black women whose cardiovascular health is being ignored.
