Raiders Honor Yale-Bound Oakland Teen For 5.0 GPA, 2100 SAT Score
 

OAKLAND (KPIX 5) ? The Oakland Raiders opened their doors Tuesday to a young, multi-talented genius. He is not their latest draft pick, but an Ivy League-bound teenager who has taken the country by storm with his academic success.

Akintunde Ahmad, a senior at Oakland Technical High School, was treated to a shopping spree in the team store.

?Coming out of high school I would have wished I had a 4.0, and here this guy has a 5.0. It?s amazing,? said Raiders wide receiver Rod Streator.

?Tunde, as he calls himself, is sporting a perfect 5.0 GPA and scored 2100 on his SAT test. He plays French horn and African drums in the orchestra and is a standout on the school?s baseball team.

Lately, he also has spent his spare time as a television celebrity. ?Tunde has chosen to attend Yale in the fall and has been receiving donations to cover the costs. During a recent appearance on ?The Ellen DeGeneres Show,? he received a $15,000 check.

Back at school, his Principal said ?Tunde and his friends are setting an important example for the rest of the students.

?Because so many of our kids don?t see a way out, they don?t have the role model. And ?Tunde is a walking role model,? said Oakland Technical High Principal Staci Ross-Morrison.

When asked if he felt comfortable being called a role model, ?Tunde said, ?Yeah, it kind of adds pressure, but it kind of makes me check myself to make sure I?m doing what I?m supposed to be.?

?Tunde feels the overwhelming reaction to his academic success is also a reflection on Oakland itself.

?Because a lot of times they portray our city in a negative light and focus on bad news. So, I think a lot of people were just really happy that we had some positive news that a lot of people could relate with,? he said.

Education is a family tradition in the Ahmad family. ?Tunde?s mother is a principal at a middle school in Piedmont.

He said he has already raised about half of what he will need to cover his college expenses.

nice - he should just stop calling himself Tunde - that's a female skandinavian name

He doesn't live in Scandinavia.

Now we just need to see this so commonplace that it doesn't make headlines.

I hope the kid continues to do great.


.

Sure thing, everybody in America will be up to 5.0 in no time.

:1orglaugh

I guess I should have said ....... "Isn't it refreshing too see a hahahahahaha excel at something other than basketball. I just hope some other hahahahahaha doesn't shoot him dead for his sneakers before college starts"


.

So you didn't score 5.0 either?


:1orglaugh


Sorry that I hurt your fellings by allowing you to expose your stupidity.

No, I didn't. I got every single question wrong during black history week.

That's too bad considering your school only had one question :

99% of blacks think this kid is too white because he is smart and talks like the rest of us.
How come this kid doesn't have pants around his ankles and gold grillz?

99% of the bullshit you make up is 100% bullshit.

:2 cents:

Thats still 1% less than bullshit you make up.
And I'm still ahead of you in life just like 99% of us always will :1orglaugh

One black kid gets into x school makes international headlines and touring TV shows.
Welcome to 2015.

I post about a black kid having the opportunity to break out of the shitville you guys live in and you mock the thread... brilliant :2 cents:
