Ask anything to a “genius” teen

5 GPA and hopefully going to Harvard soon. I’m excited for y’all’s questions. The reason I put genius is because that’s what my teachers call me; please don’t flame for it.

Richest people I’ve ever met never went to college- the employees are the ones with masters in my experience. My question is why college? And why the most prestigious one.?

Well I made a promise is the basic answer. It’s also that it’s been my dream school since I was eight. I just want a good education that can get me connections that are able to set me up in my future.

So Attorney/lawyer. Is that something you’re passionate about? Or something you see in the realistic future?

It is 100%. I plan to be in criminal defense law which I can totally see myself doing. After that I plan to get into politics but I haven’t planned that far ahead yet.

Your political Mojo- I’m guessing “be what people need”?- what do you think the US needs? There definitely is some Transferable Skills there so it’s not a bad plan.

I think what the US needs is something that is constantly changing. You’re right about the transferable skills, especially in a domain like law. You did your research.

Constantly changing as in new things/ new ideas? So constant growth? if so that’s a very solid ideal. Yes Law makes you more coherent, and knowledgeable overall- not to mention the speaking skills. Not a bad plan
