She graduated near the top of her class at an elite school, garnering two awards for academic excellence. She was featured in an LA Times ad touting the top achievers at this school.
Among the schools she was accepted at: Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA. All offered some level of scholarship. (That's the part of the list my mom could remember, there were more schools on that list. A lot more)
I'm afraid to see what her SATs were.
Oh, the best part?
She's 16 years old. She skipped eighth grade. she is going to take over the world.
Congrats, Norster! Now the real fun begins!!! Penguin dances for you and all your fellow grads!

I will take credit for her fascination with edged weapons.

Didn't you also finish sniper school?
