Maame Biney has a lot on her mind right now. Having just turned 18, she is thinking about her high school graduation in June. She is wondering if anyone will ask her to prom. She has taken her ACTs and her SATs and she is applying to six colleges, including the University of Utah.
Her extracurriculars might help there. After all, few things can spruce up a college application like an Olympic medal. And if Biney needs any help with her personal essays, every major media outlet in the nation is about to take a crack at telling her story.
