Born in Lagos, Nigeria, 🇳🇬 but growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 🧀 this week’s #FirstieFriday is C1C Adedapo “Ade” Adeboyejo.

Ade is majoring in Systems Engineering with a focus in Human Factors and is minoring in Spanish. 

He wanted to learn how to become a leader of character, especially since his brother is a #USAFA2021 grad, driving him toward the Academy.

Ade’s favorite memory at #USAFA was taking part in the Cadet Summer Research Program at @naspensacola for 6 weeks with his friend Ryan. These are memories he’ll never forget.

𝐇is 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐬: “Treat the Academy like a leadership laboratory. Try, try again, fail, learn, try again, succeed, learn.”
