making future headlines

this is my sister raquel. she is amazing. let me tell you why:
she skipped junior year & graduated from high school at 16.
one year later she graduated college with three aa degrees (international relations, spanish, & liberal arts) at the age of 17.
two years later she is graduating from the university with a ba in global studies. (for most people this takes at least four years) she is now only 19. her graduation is this weekend!
this summer she is interning in india & is learning hindi.
i am leaving today to go to her university & help celebrate her graduation with her! i'm so proud of her.
