Science Park proud! ⚡️❤️⚡️❤️⚡️

When Risiqat Adeniji was applying to colleges, a supplement essay question asked for three words that best described her. Her response: Tell me more.

“I’m a big person on understanding why,” Adeniji explained. “I always have to understand why things are the way that they are.”

Adeniji’s inquisitive nature has propelled her to the Ivy League. This fall, Adeniji will attend Brown University, where she plans to study psychology on the pre-med track with aspirations of becoming a psychiatrist or neuroscientist.

For Adeniji, one of Newark Public Schools’ most accomplished student debaters, the acceptance represented more than admission to an Ivy League university. It represented the culmination of years spent sharpening her voice, expanding her understanding of the world, and developing the skills that helped her become one of the nation’s top high school debaters.

“I think that my acceptance to Brown University was only true because of how much effort I put into debate,” said Adeniji. “Debate really made me who I am.”
