Serena Omo-Lamai is one Nigerian teenager to look out for. She recently completed her secondary school education at a College in Lekki last year and now, she has been offered admission into 13 renowed world universities located in the United States and Canada.
Faced with so many choices, Omo-Lamai who wants to study Bio-Medical Engineering chosed to go to Syracuse University, because they offered her a $51,000 scholarship.
Other universities who offered her admission include: Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, New York University, among others.
Speaking in a telephone interview, the proud teenager said:
I feel very honoured and I feel it is an opportunity to work harder. I know that I have to justify the offer. I chose Syracuse University because it has a very good research lab and the offer came with $51,000 scholarship. I have always loved Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography. My hope is to study medicine for a second degree, but I would love to be a medical engineer. Most of the medical equipment in the country are imported and I would like a situation where medical equipment is manufactured here in Nigeria. My parents are my role models, but I am also inspired by anyone who is hardworking, anyone who puts so much efforts into what they do.
