IRENE: S87-SOP

Irene was double-promoted from fifth to seventh grade in just one year, showcasing her remarkable intellect and dedication. Though she doesn’t hold an official leadership role, she displays natural leadership qualities in every class. Her favorite subject is math, even as she excels in literature, and since joining Girl Power Africa, she has consistently earned double promotions. Behind her success lies a painful story—her father denied her mother’s pregnancy, abandoning Irene before she was even born. You can sense the hurt in her eyes as she shares this, yet it propels her to work harder, both for herself and her family. Deeply grateful for the support of her sponsors, Irene dreams of becoming a medical doctor upon graduation, determined to create a brighter future.  Sponsored by: Dana Cvengros
