Temitope shared pictures of himself with his parents standing in front of the family bookshop where they were able to generate funds to sponsor his education, noting that he got inspired to study from the books he read to broaden his limits of what he could aspire for himself.
“This bookstore behind us practically raised me.. It made sure we didn’t starve. It was the place where I spent countless hours immersed in books, reading about worlds far far away, and expanding the limits of what I could aspire for myself.
‘Today, I’m a graduate of Wharton and Harvard. I’m so grateful!’,” Temitope said.
