Other: Im Nigerian (Black), so idk if that helps much. I come from a single parent home, my mom is just finishing her college degree. Were basically broke. Like, our income was $0 last year, and maybe $10,000 the year before. Um, freshman year my divorced parents got back together, and it had to be the worst year of my life. My dad was controlling, erratic, and I was under constant fear. I have a special needs brother that we spend a lot of time and money on. I was suspended from school freshman year for a minor offense. Its a long story, but everyone who hears it is outraged. Ask and Ill tell.
I am really passionate about poverty, public health, war, and development economics. Its all personal for me. My parents grew up during the Nigerian Civil War (Biafran War). My father was a rebel soldier and was shot, due to bad healthcare his hand was paralyzed. My mother was basically kept alive by UNICEF food and attended a UNICEF school but four of her siblings died. I have an aunt who suffered brain damage because of traditional medicine in Nigeria. I could go on.
I want to major in Public Health and be pre-med.
This ended way off topic, sorry.</p>
