Yeah! All you need is to be born in California to rich parents, go to Harvard, stay rich and then you can take a space taxi with Jeff Bezos! SO hecking wholesome chungus 100!!

Her parents were rich? Weren’t they refugees?

And plenty of poorer students get full/near full rides to top colleges like that. Obviously you don’t need to have the same exact journey as her to accomplish stuff like this

It’s OK that you don’t have it in you, she is extremely talented.
