After reading some of the negative comments about this brilliant, hard-working young woman & her family, I wonder if the negativity is due to parents who live vicariously through their children's accomplishments? If another child achieves higher than their child, well, it's because the other child is more privileged and their child would be that brilliant if they were as privileged. So I think stories like this threaten some parents feelings of accomplishment. I feel sorry for those kids.

I would love to have a music/art room like that girls music room. Maybe someday we'll redesign the roof on an old addition to our house and put in a bay of windows. That room was just beautiful, but I liked what the mom said about the glow coming from her daughters face, not the sun shining in.
