One cold winter afternoon at 2.15 pm, a girl weighing 4 lbs 10 oz made a grand entry into the world through the Holy Cross Hospital, Silver Spring, MD, who was given the pet name "Precious" because she was a cute little premie baby. I spent a few years of my life in the United Kingdom and Africa, where I developed my love for books and reading, the arts, singing, writing, music, and photography. I learnt to play the piano as a little girl, and I have fallen in love with the guitar and am also learning to play. I have been singing in the church choir since I was 5 years old and love doing ballet. I write stories and poems in my school magazines. I also learnt to draw, and I am drawn to art and crafts, jewellery making, and I believe that comes from being born into a family of artists. I was also a class representative (ambassador) in my high school. Whilst I was studying for my International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB), I picked up photography as a hobby and also engaged in community service and volunteering, helping the less privileged (orphanages and blind children). I raised funds through recycling plastic, jumble sales and other activities such as car wash, sponsor-a-child. I love to do philanthropic activities and help the less privileged. I volunteered in various church outreaches at Trinity House Church. My grandfather is said to be the 1st member of the Lagos Rotary Club (Nigeria), my grandmother was a nurse who loved looking after people, and my mother is also a Rotarian, supporting and partnering with a number of charity organisations.
