Senior year of high school I placed 3rd in the state (Virginia) in a year long math contest. I should have finished second but made a silly mistake on one problem. Because of me our school was first in the region in the same contest.
I graduated college when I was 19 with a double major in Computer Science and Math.
I followed that with a masters degree in computer science. That one took longer because I did it while working full time at NASA.
I raised 6 kids and put 5 of them through college (the other one didn't want to go). Actually I put 4 through college, my youngest just finished her second year on an academic full ride at Florida State.
I started a small business and persevered through many crisis to keep it going and build it up. Our company now employees about 20 people and now run it with 3 of my kids.
