The genius Ghanaian student successfully combined his studies with extra school activities such as music, marching band, choir, student council, national honor society and others.

''I’m in diversity club, German club, I used to run track, and now I play volleyball,'' Ayisi said as he finished listing his extracurriculars.

With an extensive list of options, and many college visits later, Ayisi has decided to attend Princeton University in the fall.

The teenager told myfox28columbus.com that he tries to focus on what makes him happiest.

Ayisi credits his high ethical standards to his parents who moved to the United States years ago.

The soon to be Princeton University freshman is excited about his next chapter and plans to study cognitive science and neuroscience.

''I’m interested in how the brain works and how the brain functions,''Ayisi said.
