A 14 year old Nigerian girl has set herself apart from her mates by excelling in her academics, thereby attaining genius status.
You have to be very intelligent to take Advanced Placement classes in high school. Oforitsenere Bodunrin has proven that she is that smart.
The Arlington Martin High School senior is getting ready to graduate at the top of her class, but she stands out for more than her grades.

“I’m 14,” Bodunrin said with a beaming smile. “I don’t really like to be like, ‘Hey I’m 14! This is amazing! This is great!’ I just like to talk to people normally and if they find out, they find out.”
“I think that says a lot about how she carries herself,” Arlington Martin High School AP Art History teacher Elizabeth Osbourne said. “The way she behaves and acts, she’s very mature for 14.”
Bodunrin’s fast track is remarkable; everywhere but in her own family because her elder sister also graduated at the age of 14.
A genius and more
Her older sister Fifehanmi who graduated from the same high school at the same age is now getting ready to graduate from LeTourneau University this year.
Speaking of her sister, Oforitsenere Bodunrin stated that she inspires her and that gives her a glimpse of how her future will be if she stays hard working.
Bodunrin isn’t just academically driven. She is also president of the Key Club, editor for Martin School News, historian for the Black Student Union, and has a second-degree black belt in the martial art of Tang Soo Do; just to name a few.
“Surround yourself with people that encourage you and, like, surround yourself with people that have similar goals to you,” Bodunrin said. “But also, like, don’t shut people out just because you don’t think that they fit your criteria.”
Bodunrin, the star girl, has plans to attend UT Arlington to study computer science and aviation. She plans to fly as far as her wings can carry her.
