SO proud of her I’m posting it everywhere lolol

Queen Adesuyi, 17, the daughter of a cabdriver and security guard, is the first member of her Nigerian immigrant family to apply for college. She has a 93 average at Aquinas High School in the Bronx and is laser-focused on a career as a criminal lawyer, hoping to make a first stop at the sex crimes unit of a prosecutor’s office. She has been interning at the Bronx district attorney’s office.

“I am unstoppable — just call me a juggernaut,” she once wrote in a poem.
