Have you ever gone to bed at night and said to yourself 'I probably could've had a more productive day'? Sure you have. Everyone has. Right?
Probably not 18 year old Harold Ekeh. He was just accepted to 8 Ivy League Schools. Did ya hear that? EIGHT.
Harold moved to the United States with his family ten years ago from Nigeria, and is editor in chief of his school newspaper. He has until May 1st to make his decision, but according to news articles he's leaning toward Yale at the moment.
“Kids would say, ‘I want to be a firefighter or a police officer or a superhero’,” said Harold in a statement to CBS News. “I would say I want to explore the human body, what makes us who we are. I would like to be a neurosurgeon when I grow up.”
I don't doubt for a second that we'll be hearing about Harold in the future. (I also don't doubt that he may be some sort of super hero.)
Now please excuse me while I go try and accomplish something other than setting new binge-watching records on Netflix.
