NIFEMI AWOSIKA '19
Grade school: Chrisland School, Nigeria
Favorite subject: Chemistry
Activities: Diversity Club, Escape Club, Literary Magazine, GMA-TV Club
Favorite show: Law and Order SVU

Why did I choose Gwynedd?
Well, to be fair, Gwynedd chose me. I am from Nigeria and my parents made an executive decision with regards to where I was to attend to high school. Though the decision was made for me, without question it was the right decision for me! What I love most about Gwynedd is that from the beginning I have always felt part of the community. The environment is extremely welcoming, and I always feel at home in the walls of Gwynedd and surrounded by my four hundred sisters.

Every day at Gwynedd, I am challenged to achieve academic success. I'm offered many opportunities, such as service activities and leadership roles, which push me to reach my full potential. I love that I am able to attend a school in which I am surrounded by girls with ambition and Mercy spirit. At Gwynedd, I truly feel at home.

Last month, thirteen rising Juniors and rising Seniors enjoyed a Coastal Conservation Tour in Costa Rica. They traveled with World Strides and Science Faculty Member, Mrs. Saunders, to learn about Tropical Wet Forests flora and fauna, Beach Conservation, Cetacean Biology (Whales), Butterfly life cycles, Costa Rican culture, dance and politics. The group also performed service, cleaning trails of the Manuel Antonio National Park. Afterward, they enjoyed down town ziplining, horseback riding, and canoeing to a swimming cove in the Pacific tropics. New friendships were formed with students from Cedarville High School in Arkansas, and friendships strengthened through this amazing adventure. The students will now participate in a 10 hour-course through World Strides and gain three college credits in Global Studies from the University of California.
