High school student accepted to 26 Universities, offered $3 million in scholarships



Arianna Alexander was accepted into 26 colleges – including six Ivy League universities – and was awarded a combined total of more than $3 million in scholarships.


Arianna graduated as valedictorian of her class at Kenwood Academy High School in Chicago, Illinois, and earned a 5.1 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. 
"It was a lot to take in. I received emails, letters. It was just like, ‘Come here, come here!’ They were bombarding me with all this information,” Arianna told WLS.
Among all the acceptances were scholarship offers that mean Arianna can afford college and not worry about the cost.
 
Arianna was inspired to aim high with encouragement from her parents and seeing a previous Kenwood student awarded with about $1 million in scholarships.
“I planted the seed in Arianna’s mind that you can do the same thing,” her father Pierre Alexander.
 
“So when the process got started and a million was achieved, let’s go for two. I said let’s go for three and she did it,” he added.

Picture of  Ifa practitioners  undergoing Ifa initiation Credit: Google Ifa initiation known as itẹnifa or itẹlodu in Yoruba dialect is not foreign to your ears and if it is, then you have to learn the basics of IFA initiation before this particular post make sense to you. Almost every practitioner, if not all have had Ifa initiation, even those who are not practitioners find themselves initiated for a convinced reason known to them. However, some IFA initiates raise their respective voice, lamenting​ why their initiation is futile, no improvement, no progress or whatsoever of any sorts.  Despite the assurance of being wealthy (or any desire) after initiation, everything seems to remain stagnant, some even went from bad to worse. Some even have abandoned Ifa because of this unfortunate reasons. While experiencing​ this, numerous questions pop up in mind; among are: why is this itẹlodu not effective? why is IFA initiation overrated? Why are my problems not solved yet despite what IFA
