Powerful journey for Francis Okoro
Posted Jan 28, 2018
Francis Okoro’s journey to Normal, Illinois began when he left Nigeria in 2014 before the start of what would have been his eighth-grade year. But prep school stops in Mississippi, Las Vegas and Tennessee just weren’t the right fit. A final move to Normal settled Okoro’s life. With his parents still living in Nigeria, Okoro moved in with his aunt and uncle in January 2016.
