A North Texas family is celebrating a unique achievement — for the second time.
Oforitsenere Bodunrin recently earned her high school diploma at the young age of 14, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Fifehanmi Bodunrin, who graduated from the same high school at the same age in 2019 and is currently studying at LeTourneau University.
“I am so remarkably proud of Oforitsenere,” Brown told the school district. “She has been fun, sweet and studious as a student and leader, and I can’t wait to see what she will do. I know she will save the world.”

She was also a historian for the Black Student Union, a Future Business Leaders of America state finalist, president of the Filmmaker’s Society, and historian for the National Art Honors Society.
