Fore Badejoko '28

It is nothing short of remarkable what Obaforehanmi (Fore) Badejoko ’28  has achieved in her life – award-winning academic success, lauded leadership skills, and a broad background in athletics, arts, languages and culture. Not to mention founding the Flourishing Forests Foundation, a platform empowering the leaders of tomorrow to learn about global forest conservation. And all before the sixth grade. Oh, and she’s also an avid dissectologist (someone who loves doing jigsaw puzzles). “Every piece in the puzzle is different and unique in its own way,” says 10-year-old Fore. “I think all my experiences, passion for learning, and my desire to make a difference in my community makes me a truly unique piece to fit into the RNS puzzle.”
 
After impressing the RNS Enrolment  team with her outstanding scholarship application package – including nearly too many certificates and letters of recommendation to count – we were pleased and privileged to present Fore with an entrance award from our Scholarships and Bursaries Program. Every year, RNS provides $1.4M in scholarships and bursaries to recognize exceptional students, future leaders, and compassionate, socially minded people just like Fore.             
 
We can provide this support, which amounts to assisting 30% of our student body, thanks to the generosity of our alumni. Because of donations to the endowment,  and the RNS community, Fore will contribute to the betterment of our school, our community, and we know she will make her mark on the world as a proud RNS grad.
 
“I wanted to attend RNS because I think it’s a really great place to help me prepare for my future and make so many friends from so many countries,” she says. A life-long learner who has lived and learned on three different continents, we couldn’t be happier to have Fore on the Hill. 
 
In her Grade 2 class at Lakefield Elementary School, Fore wrote an essay about heroes in the world. “I wrote about Terry Fox, Malala Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr.,” she says. “All of these people did lots of simple things consistently to achieve the extraordinary. Just like them, I also want to make a difference in my community.” We have no doubt that these incredible individuals will be in good company when Obaforehanmi Badejoko’s name appears next to their own in the very near future.
