"My family came here from Nigeria when I was 3 years old. I grew up dreaming of going to an Ivy League school and was accepted at several, but I couldn't afford the tuition. As an immigrant, I didn't have access to the same financial aid and scholarships that citizens have. Still, I'm blessed to be able to go to college at Christian Brothers University. Being in Memphis has allowed me to grow in ways I might not have otherwise. I'd like to see more happen with immigration reform though, so that kids can realize their dreams. It's not their fault they're in the situation they're in."
