Oforitsenere Bodunrin reflected on her graduation from high school at just 14 years old and shared her plans for the future with Fox News.
Bodunrin, who graduated top of her class, followed the path of her older sister years earlier who also graduated at the same age. Last week in “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” she and her mom explained how she pulled off such a feat.
“You have two daughters who graduated from high school at the age of 14,” MacCallum told Oforitsenere’s mother Bawo. “Give us parenting advice. How did you instill this kind of discipline and hard work in your kids?”
Bawo noted that both of her children were able to read at a very young age. MacCallum agreed that early reading is an essential foundation for education, and asked what Oforitsenere plans to study in college.

“I’m going to UT Arlington to study computer science,” Oforitsenere replied. “So it doesn’t feel daunting because obviously my sister did, so she’s been like a guiding force in helping me figure things out.”
MacCallum continued by asking Oforitsenere about her career aspirations, noting that she will graduate at just 18 years old on this current trajectory.
“I would like to work at one of those Big Tech companies like Google or Apple,” she said, later adding that she would love to travel to places like New York.

Oforitsenere added that she is increasingly interested in artificial intelligence, noting both its popularity among her friends and the wide range of ways AI can be used.
When asked what she would build with it, Oforitsenere replied, “Like a chatbot. I’m not trying to take over the world.”
After MacCallum asked for advice on parenting, Bawo noted that parents should be willing to make sacrifices in raising their children, suggesting that if they put a lot of effort into raising their children in their early years, they ” would have peace.” in their old age.”
