A GIRL

 There once was a girl who loved to learn,while other kids would be outside playing, she could be found sitting on her sofa excitedly reading books on advanced topics.

As she progressed from grade school to middle school and to high school, her desire to learn more grew as well.

Unfortunately, it soon became apparent that school wasn't challenging enough for the young girl.  Although she read all the textbooks, she was supposed to read in school and got good grades.

One day, she seized the initiative and approached her high school principal about her situation.  After she expressed her feelings and frustrations, he leaned back in his chair, looked outside and felt the warmth of the sun shining through his office's window.  After pausing for what seemed like an eternity for the young girl, the principal spoke.  

But his response was both thrilling and disquieting.  He said: "I've been watching you, and have seen you reading and learning wonderful things that don't interest the other kids.  I have to say, I'm so proud of you, and for the love of learning you have.  I have no doubt you are going to go far in life".
