Since stepping foot into Georgia State University, ingratiating myself within the school campus was my way of evolving my student leadership abilities. I always had the feeling that I underperformed in my high school years and that I had little to almost no involvement in social issues or extracurricular activities. That really was the engine starter that propelled me to finally come out of my comfort zone and be something of a positive force that can touch not just me but everyone else. I believe to categorize myself as an underrepresented student because not only am I Nigerian-American, I also come from an underrepresented economical background.
