thats racist!! Its Hispanic privilege!!
jk... hopefully she’ll use her gift to better mankind the right way...
I’m honestly jealous of kids whose father’s did everything they could to make kids scholars, and possibly being scholars themselves.
Big deal. It ain’t like she can catch a football, or throw a baseball, or run fast. Stuff that’s REALLY important nowadays. /s
I get mad at myself for not taking the opportunity... hence the rough road i’ve traveled!!
Maybe we’ll do better in our next life!!
A great achievement. I hope she keeps her cool through adolescence and doesn’t throw it all away.
A real life Sheldon Cooper. Cool.
Good for her and it being a California community college, her fellow students are right at her maturity level. Win-win!
I do believe that, in the next life, it is a fresh start.
She can’t speak proper English, so how did she get through 2 years of college ( a dinky one,but still a “ college “ ) at the age of 10? And she has applied to Stanford?
Avoid the “education” Pharisee establishment.
I wonder if her accomplishment is a comment on the school or her...or both.
She certainly looks a lot OLDER than age 10 in the pictures. I wonder if she had any proof of age when she entered here?

She is a very impressive young lady, a true prodigy. I notice that she was homeschooled for many years. She seems to be happy and well-rounded. She will make a positive contribution, unless she is radicalized.
I took a college course, “Radical, Political Economics.” It included historical and current writings on socialism, and lectures by a true believer (who also had the power to grade me). I had to decide whether or not to go down that path.
Studying for the final, I went through the lecture notes for the entire course. In the notes for the first third of the semester, I read that America “did not really have a progressive tax system.” Subtext, America is bad.
In the notes to the final third of the semester I read that, due to America’s progressive tax system, it was hard for a striver to join the ranks of the very rich. Subtext, America is bad.
America was bad for not having a progressive tax system and America was bad for having a progressive tax system. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. That’s not logical or fair. This realization helped open my mind to reject academic authority from the left.
Leftist theory does not stand up to scrutiny.
The problem is that leftism is more emotional than intellectual. As someone said, you can’t reason someone out of a position that they were not reasoned into in the first place.
“Women’s rights,” “saving the environment,” “anti-racism,” “anti-capitalism,” “anti-fascism,” etc. create righteous indication. People become addicted to their hate. It’s hard to think when feeling a strong emotion. People become committed to a phony cause, which they are unwilling to examine critically.
Niece did not want to do high school so she placed-out first two and attended the last two year.
Small college, she she placed-out her pre- requisites and attended the last two years for a teaching degree.
“She can’t speak proper English”
I missed that. Maybe I can’t speak proper English either. Please provide a quote.
