Key to Awesomeness: As an aspiring computer engineer, Odefe Enabulele believes being successful in athletics is no different than being successful at academics.  The 17-year-old Clara Barton point guard and distance runner believes that it is "all about hard work."  Enabule believes in practicing everyday in order to achieve your goals, and the Barton senior has done exactly that throughout his high school career.

“Participating in track and field made me determined to finish my work,” said Enabulele.

“In track we say you never quit and once I go in the classroom I also don’t stop.” 

No matter what challenges he might face, the Barton senior always believes that he will be successful because failure is not an option. “No matter what I always want to be the best.  I want to be number one and I determined,” he said. “That is what my motto is.”
