A child genius

A young girl in Africa has started her dream: college.  She is just 14 years old and an orphan. She has lost her father when she was very young, and her mother a year or two ago. She lives with her brothers,  who can barley provide for her and themselves. She is a very bright, intelligent girl who knows how to work hard to get what she desires, such as her dream job as an accountant. She skipped from grade three to grade six, and  has finished in the top of her class in all of her classes. She has received. 10,000 dollar scholarship to the University of Zimbabwe.  Her brothers could barely afford the fee to take the entrance test into the university.  The University of Zimbabwe is the oldest college in Africa. She is the youngest student to ever enter any college in Africa.

Wow. That is all I can honestly say right now is wow. I can't believe a 14 year old girl in Africa is becoming the youngest student to ever enter college to become.and accountant.  Oh, I also want to say "You Go Girl!" Good for her! A poor, orphan that is achieving her dream goal/ job? What an accomplishment!  I just hope that everything works out for her and that she can keep up in college and get a job as an accountant.
