Northampton County High School - Nyasia S. Dunn
BIOGRAPHY: Hi, I’m Nyasia Dunn and I’m currently a senior at Northampton County High School in Gaston, NC. I love coffee, reading, writing, math, a little bit of psychology, and learning. During school, I participate in Student Government Association (President), Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy (Ambassador), SkillsUSA, Servitude Group, and Prom committee. In my spare time I like to draw, meditate, pray, and volunteer at my local church. I constantly strive for more knowledge and accomplishments. My grandmother is one of my biggest motivators and she’s a consistent reminder that I can do whatever. I’ve gotten accepted into 15 colleges with Howard University being my top pick. Some may say I’m an overachiever but to me there’s no such thing as an “overachiever”. I’m no overachiever; I just achieve.
