<p>There is a senior in my high school who is currently 19. She will be 20 in early 2013. The reason why she is still in high school is that she immigrated to the U.S. from South Korea when she was 17. Instead of becoming a junior, she decided to start high school from the very beginning. However, she was already extremely adept at chemistry, biology, physics, math, history, English, etc. Even though she is an immigrant, she speaks English fluently and with no accent. She's already taken 15+ AP tests and has gotten mostly 5s on all of them. She's editor-in-chief of my school's yearbook, school newspaper, and daily newsletter. She is also the co-president of my school's music honor society & captain of the volleyball team. My school has around 2000~ kids and she is dominating almost every aspect of it.
I've heard her brag about how she requires 2-3 hours of sleep every night. One of the reasons why she is so accomplished is that she is much older and mature than everyone in her grade. Will her age offset some of her achievements?</p>
<p>Why you gotta be all up in her business? Sounds to me that you’re envy/dislike her…buuuuuttt</p>
<p>I dot think it will offset it as much because 1) She’s still doing everything that a normal high schooler can do/achieve, 2)She started as a freshman, and 3)just because she is one-two years older does not mean there’s a large gap in maturity. She wasn’t living alone or going to college (common situations/places where maturity increases greatly. She’s just like you, except she’s better.</p>
