她讀高中的同時,就讀完了研究生課程。下個月,她將從奧克頓高中畢業。

Mui started taking college courses at Northern Virginia Community College after fifth grade. By age 13 she earned her Associates degree. Last summer, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics, from George Mason, and then got started on her Master's.

"It’s just life to me," she said. "Everybody else may see it as weird. But, you know, it’s just life."
“這就是我的生活,”她說道。“其他人可能會覺得很怪異。但是,你知道的,這就是生活。”

Mui said she strives to live a balanced life and keeping a close relationship with her friends from elementary school.

梅說,她並沒有把自己當成一個“天才”,她把自己的成就與那些做“大事”之人的成就相比較來使自己保持謙遜。被問及她會給其他的年輕人什麼建議,梅說,“不要放棄,要始終着眼於最終目標。”

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes; I’ve made a lot," Stephanie said. "So yeah, just keep going."
“每個人偶爾都會犯錯,我就犯過很多錯誤,”斯蒂芬妮說道。“所以,就是要繼續前行。”
