At 19 years-old, Britney Exline has already graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.
She is the youngest engineer to ever graduate from Penn, and our nation’s youngest African American engineer!
Exline was working on Wall Street at 16, speaks 5 languages, and “has a passion for volunteering to help others, having traveled to Cameroon with the One Laptop program.”
Impressive!
From NewsOne:
In an interview with Ebony magazine, Chyrese said of her parenting,”I made sure they remained committed even when they wanted to quit. They learned you can’t quit an activity just because it’s hard. Sometimes you need to stick with something. That’s the only way to learn how to persevere and overcome true obstacles. Eventually, it becomes a part of you. I believe this.”
Just imagine the potential this young lady has. With her youth and advanced study, she has the chance to do something great.
But the best part about Exline might be her humility.
“I don’t think of myself as extraordinary,” she said.
