>not because of some single minded focus as she had ~10 AP classes and ended up High school Valedictorian. So you're saying she did have a single-minded focus

  School took a lot of time, but was not her main focus. Considering she wanted to be an artist and mostly did that on the side, school was a net loss of time. It's one thing to scrape a C and doodle in all your classes, it's another to find time to draw on the side in the middle of a hectic schedule. Getting a 5 in AP calculus is hard for most people who want to use it, for someone who has little interest in math that's a huge time investment. AKA if you do one thing well then you can argue it's a time investment, when you do everything well that takes something more.
