The Show Time

A 12-year-old girl is off to college after having

already completed the entire high-school

syllabus through homeschooling.

Alena Wicker, from Arizona, will begin her college education at Arizona State University later this year.

Alena, who has had a passion for building things ever since her obsession with LEGO as a child, hopes to work for NASA by the time she turns 16 and build equipment like the Mars Rover.

Discussing her accomplishments to date, Alena said, ‘It doesn’t matter what your age or what you’re planning to do. Go for it, dream, then accomplish it.’
