Asemota

Daniel Asemota - Sophie Davis Class of 2014 - is a graduate of Queens Gateway to Health Sciences High School, where he made the Honor Roll every semester and was inducted into The National Honor Society.

He also participated in the Queens Bridge to Medicine Program, an enrichment program that helps prepare students for programs like the Sophie Davis School. Despite his rigorous academic schedule, Mr. Asemota still found time to give back to his community. His volunteer service included summers at a local nursery school and a public library and more than two years at the South Jamaica Police Athletic League. He tutored children in science there and at other PAL centers in Queens. Mr. Asemota, who plans to become a pediatrician, says "we need to look beyond ourselves; maybe then will our world be a better place."
