If you were to see 12-year-old Alena Wicker wearing her Arizona State University hoodie you might assume that she got it from an older sibling or even a parent. I mean, a 12-year-old obviously isn't a student at the prestigious school... right? Wrong! Wicker was recently accepted to ASU after submitting her application without even telling her mother. You see, Alena Wicker is something of a child prodigy, and with her mother's help, she has raced ahead of other students her age and is already ready for college and, soon after, a career that will make the most of her gifts.
As TSR reports, the Dallas-Fort Worth preteen has already conquered a high school curriculum without actually setting foot inside a school. She's been homeschooled by her mother, Dr. Daphne McQuarter, who let her take her love of science and engineering and run with it. Now, the 12-year-old is on course to become the youngest black woman ever to hold a NASA position and hopes to be working with the space agency by the time she turns 16.
