ANOTHER OPTION

I have been reading up on high school/college alternative paths and came across this really great interview from a kid's perspective.

Intern'tl Chem Olympiad, Pres Scholar, and Harvard Scholar Kid

There are many things I like about this interview. For one, the kid found a passion, but still loves learning in general (see last question of interview). I also like that he seems humble and wasn't radically pushed by parents. AP Chem sophomore year isn't radical, although he started at a university in 9th grade...still not TOO radical.

I love how his parents handled the languages. I wonder how much was Dad's job transfers.

smile Kids are amazing if we can find the opportunities for them to learn and keep it intrinsically rewarding.
