Aminat Jubril is from Lagos, Nigeria. She came to PSC to play basketball and is the recipient of an athletic scholarship. Her major is sports medicine/physical therapy. “I’ve always loved medicine. I love sports. I wanted to do something that I could put those two together.”
Being an athlete and a science major is difficult. “Trying to balance studying and practice is hard,” but Aminat manages to make time for Phi Theta Kappa. “We participate in community service a lot as a basketball team.”
She wants to be a doctor, specifically a physical therapist, and, in 10 years, an orthopedic surgeon. “I learned that I like bones.”
Aminat is grateful for the opportunity to do what she loves in a learning environment. “Thank you for giving me the chance to play basketball and go to school. School is most important, but being able to do both is wonderful. I don’t know if they know how much help they have given, especially for parents who can’t afford to send a child to school.”
