Hi! My name is Oumou Fofana. I am a Guinean-American, Muslim, and the oldest of five children. I am also a first-generation American and will be the first in my family to go to college. I really excited to go to OSU, but I’m also pretty nervous. I come from the Westside of Columbus, and I went to Franklin Heights High School. The school was kind of crazy and fun, but I managed to pull through and graduate. Some of the most meaningful memories I have there are competing in the Quest Games, which is where each graduating class competes in games with each other; Teachers’ Appreciation Breakfast, where the National Honors Society at my school made breakfast for the teachers; Culture Day, where students dress up in outfits that represent their culture; and so many other things. I hope to gain many more memories and experiences at OSU. My academic goal for OSU is to stop my habit of procrastination. I want to ask for help more and challenge myself as a student.
