This happened a while ago, and even more uplifting is Ne’Kiya Jackson got into college by doing this!
It’s insane that her first thought, in response to the question of why people were surprised, was the color of her skin, followed by her gender, and only then did she mention the thing that was probably the first thing everyone else thought of: her age.
Regardless, very impressive indeed.
So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that’s a first.
I didn’t see a single ad, I’m using this:

And here I am at 46 and I can’t help my daughter with her middle school math homework.
That’s fine. That just means that you’re not good at Math or not good at teaching. I’m sure you’re good at other things.
I remember hearing this alot growing up, how “you are not a math person”, and I believed it.
Now I have a masters in mechanical engineering and a few patents. Don’t believe this trope of “you aren’t good at math”.
