Senior Daniel Ogunbamowo’s journey to Carolina was a long one, not just measured in miles. He grew up in London and Essex, raised by a single mom a Nigerian immigrant who worked two jobs before Daniel was born so she could send money back home.
“My mom is one of the toughest and most resilient people I know. She’s a huge inspiration,” he said. “She attended university while working full time once my older sister was born and she was pregnant with me. She was always trying to get us the best education we possibly could.”
Despite his mother’s insistence that education be a top priority, Ogunbamowo said he was not a good student and for a while was at risk of failing. Eventually, he turned his grades around.
