ADETOKUNBO ADEOYE
By Faith Engle
Adetokunbo, or Dayo, Adeoye is the daughter of Yetunde Durodola-Anderson and Martins Adeoye.
She has been extremely involved during her high school career, and that can be seen on her resume.
At school, she has participated in the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education (OCLRE) Mock Trial program as an attorney for four years and witness for one year. She’s also been involved as a petitioner/ responded for the OCLRE Moot Court program.
She established Foreign Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to boosting self-esteem among teens through artistic expression, and Foreign Club, a school club based on the organization. She’s also the CEO, head ambassador and web designer for Foreign Inc., as well as the president for Foreign Club.
She has achieved being a level three graduate of the Global Scholars program, as well as being involved as a fourth grade mentor in the Marysville High School (MHS) Leadership Academy, project manager for the MHS National Honor Society, three-year president for the MHS Student Union, contributor for the MHS Catseye Literary Magazine, reporter and web designer for the Marysville Vibe and writer for the school’s In The Halls club.
She also works in the community at the Union County Young Democrats as the vice president and the Young Entrepreneurs Academy as a graduate, as well as being a Saunders Scholar semi-finalist and being a winner for the Union County Investor Panel.
She volunteers at the Union County Democratic Grassroots Campaign as a canvass captain and volunteer manager and the Hope Center as a community kitchen volunteer.
When she isn’t volunteering or participating in school activities, she enjoys writing, traveling, trying foods from around the world, web designing, shopping and going to concerts.
“My favorite memory was homecoming week of my senior year,” she said. “I had the privilege of being on the homecoming court and it was so fun to be a part of all the festivities in and out of school. I was also proud that my peers saw me as a representative of the class.”
She then said she would miss the teachers the most because they have not only been great mentors, but also one of her most significant support systems.
After she graduates from MHS, she plans to attend the University of Chicago and receive a Bachelor’s degree in public policy analysis and then go to law school.
