Oreofeoluwa I. Gidado, Editor
Oreofeoluwa Isabel Gidado is a seventeen-year-old Colonia High School student. She participates in a variety of sports and hobbies. The sports she plays include basketball, track, and volleyball. Gidado is active in the following clubs: Student Council, FCA, National Honor Society, Heroes and Cool Kids, Black Student Union, and SPTS. Gidado has played varsity basketball for four years. It is her favorite sport and plans spending the next four years playing at a university. Gidado hasn’t committed to a school yet but will soon. FCA is her favorite club where she is the student leader and has the opportunity to talk about her faith with other athletes. Despite being the eldest of three children, Gidado comes from a huge Nigerian family. Since it's easier for people to pronounce, she goes by "Izzy" instead of her first name.  She enjoys volunteering at recreational games, church, food banks, and sports camps in her free time. Gidado's passions include traveling, exploring, taking pictures, experiencing life with her loved ones, and giving back to the community. As she gets older, she hopes to visit London, Brazil, Jamaica, and many more to add to her list.
