Regular updates from students in TRIP

Get to Know Venus! by Venus Agbadan

​My name is Xose Venus Agbadan (most people call me Venus), and I am a junior at Cheltenham High School in Montgomery County (Go Panthers!). I was born in Togo in West Africa and lived in Ghana until I was 3, and then I moved to the U.S.


​At school, I play the violin in my Chamber Orchestra, sing in my school's Select Choir, and I am also a theater kid! I have done every production my school has put on since 7th grade and was recently Beatrice in our production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. 

​I am Co-Captain of my school's FIRST Robotics Team. I created and run a WISE (Women In Science & Engineering) Club at my school (It's my baby). I really enjoy doing STEM that outreaches to others, whether it be other high school students or my community or younger kids - it gives me the most fulfillment. ​

Outside of school I like to bullet journal, read, listen to music, and geek out over one of my many obsessions. I am a fan of organization in general and although my bullet journal calligraphy and doodles are not amazing, having a bullet journal makes me feel as though I have my life slightly together haha. I don't have a favorite book, but my favorite author is Rainbow Rowell. If you're ever looking for good clearance deals, Target will surprise you. In terms of music, I listen to everything from Bach to 21 Savage to Cuco to Dear Evan Hansen. Some of my obsession include Timothee Chalamet (I LOVEEE HIM), scrolling through Pinterest, and watching guilty pleasure shows (i.e. The Bachelor franchise and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series). 

​I'm involved with TRIP because I love learning, and I love science. I try to encourage myself to dive into things that are foreign to me and maybe even a little nerve racking. At the moment, I'm also in the "Do I want to study Chemistry? Do I want to be a Doctor? What About a Research Scientist? Maybe a Physicist?" stage in my life and I think, well I hope, this might help with that. Regardless, science and research is so fascinating, and
I'm ready to make discoveries, mistakes, and have a great time!
