It isn’t a PhD, it’s a DBH. If it were a PhD, her hood would have a royal blue trim, which is the color of Philosophy. Her trim is Kelly Green which is the color of a Doctorate in Health fields.

OK - well, she still might be teaching class in a few years (if that’s a goal).

I see your point though - my title is not correct. I’ll edit.

After the prom! Good for her.

Following the links, it looks like she earn an associates degree at 10, bachelor’s degree at 12, and master’s degree at 14.

She’s just got the “it” factor - at least in regards to being a student.

Will be interesting to see where she goes in life. Her grandmother was a longtime Chicago alderwoman.

Probably not, because if she wanted to do a PhD, she probably would have done a PhD. I don’t doubt that she could if she wanted.
