So after reading it, I had to take a look at the article and what would you know. One of the best stories that I have read in a long time. A young black girl in Florida is in the news for not twerking, not fighting, not shooting or being shot but for being just a beacon of light not for just blacks but for the youth all around the country.
Young grace had her family not just her mom, she had more attention paid to what was in her head than she did of what was on top of it and these things are large contributing factors as to why she is and will continue to be a success in life!
People can Poo Poo my fathers and natural hair movement all they want but it works if you just look. This girl is going to school to be a Lawyer which we need way more black lawyers, doctors, engineers, judges, etc. We dont need any more entertainers because as you can see with my stalkers, every negro thinks they are entertaining.
Lets do a great job of not only lifting up but celebrating young black kids like this. I love the fact that education has become a competion at the bush house and it just warmed my heart to see the mom and the dad together. If there ever was black royalty in america, this would be what it looked like!
Florida teen graduates from high school and college in same week
Graduating from high school at 16 is impressive enough. But managing to get your college degree before you even graduate high school? Astounding.
Grace Bush is clearly a rare talent, both intelligent and incredibly hard working. The Florida teen recently earned her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Florida Atlantic University. Later this week, she’ll get her high school diploma from Florida Atlantic University High School.
So how does somebody graduate from college before high school?
Grace participated in Florida Atlantic University’s dual enrollment program, which allows gifted high school students to earn college credit for the same courses. Students (and parents, who may foot the bill) save both time and money.
Grace admits that the order in which she is getting her diplomas is a little wacky. “It’s kind of weird that I graduated college before high school,” she told CBS Miami.
Grace, who is one of nine children, began her college career at 13 and studied through the summers in order to graduate early. She also participates in two orchestras, where she plays the flute.
Now that you feel like a total slacker, more about Grace.
Her mother, Gisla Bush, told CBS Miami that she home-schooled all of her kids (somebody buy this woman something nice for Mother’s Day). Grace showed her talents for picking things up quickly from an early age, according to her mom.
“At 2 years old, she was already reading, and I was totally shocked,” she said.
Up next for Grace: a master’s degree followed by law school. She said she’d eventually like to be chief justice of the United States.
Watch your back, John Roberts.

Jump into a conversationVery impressive! Kudos to the young lady.
However since I am a serial cynic I must say that it is very implicating of our education system that anyone can complete the requirements of “higher education” with the wisdom of a child. There is an obvious disconnect in the purpose and perception of University study.
I wouldn’t say anyone, Grace is obviously very gifted and special
