I'm happy for her but I hope she realises how lucky she got. I've been considered to be pretty smart since I was born and when I was younger I devoured all knowledge around me. But the problem was that I didn't have parents that knew a lot of physics, biology, chemistry or whatever, nor any other people in my environment. They somewhat supported me but there was just so much they could do. I quickly went through all books in the library about interesting subjects (not a lot). And that was it. My parents didn't want to buy me any books or give me access to any more information, something for which I still resent them to this day. The internet wasn't nearly as big as it was today. And of course the school system tried to break me too. I did biology, maths, physics, English etc... with ease but I almost failed my last year in high school because I was unable to discover the meaning of certain poems. I got literally sent to the police for peeking around in the school network (no editing grades, cheating exams or anything even remotely malicious). I still ponder sometimes where I would have been had I had a mentor or more supportive parents.
