I wonder how much of a role her parents play in her life. Not to denegrate her achievements but a 14 year old is (typically) still dependent on their parents/guardians.
Secondly, how is she 'helping' in this start up. Maybe It's just because I'm in a rather unhappy mood but this article just really irritates me. Sure this girl is in a great position and has the wonderful opportunity to work with intelligent and experienced people but how much of this is because of her own hard work. The tone comes off as if she is the master of her own fate but I wonder if she would have still authored this article had she been born in Kabul!
- antihero 14y agoThis is very true, however we don't choose to be privileged - and many people with privilege waste it. There's nothing wrong with taking advantage of your breaks, as long as it's not to the detriment of others. The issue with the article was that she had this attitude that she'd come from nowhere, which is untrue, but I don't think I as a 14 year old truly appreciated the gravity of how much a person is built by their surroundings and predecessors.
