Amazing 15 Year Old Headed To Harvard. (Must See)

[jacobson00]

lucky for her, she is in the USA. if she was in Africa, forget about it. I have met so many smart african girls in Africa, i am sure even smarter than her but alas, destiny has chosen another path

[nkreseknowledge]

She is amazing!! 5 dislikes?? Really?? I will be homeschooling my 8th grader in the Fall...

[shallah777]

@iluvmyboba makes us all happy indeed.

[Xpresion101]

Amazing and beautiful

[tech4156]

i guess not all muslims are evil bloodthirsty terrorists like people portray.

[PentaPic]

I imagine that it's tough when everyone is ten years older than you - pretty sad if you assume that in college, you'll have the best time of your life.

Ps: Thank you to god for making me an atheist.

[jamiyyubello]

Mash'Allah

[MizzLIBERIAN]

This is the reasons why africans parents do not play around when it comes to their kids education.

[philydon]

A Gift from GOD!!!

[lawrence9333]

remarkable young lady!! I love stories like this one!!!

[StTigray1]

I teach Africans in my school and they are the Smartest set of kids in the school hands down. Even over the Asians, Any hyphenated American, or European. The oddest thing about them is that the children are also humble and are never proud at the expense of other races, even when the AA kids have the audacity to make fun of them. I actually wish I could find a way for my daughter to hang around African kids.

[Dimensions100]

@StTigray1 That made me "awwwww".

[2011118]

Mashallah!! Allah Akbar!!

[JoStylin]

she is nigerian? she looks it

[ItsBeckhamBitch]

hey i skipped 5th grade hahaah im not as smart as her but i was the youngest one in h.s 13 years old ((:

[SarahBrennan7]

Way to go for her! She's seems so sweet, she deserves this!

[rahnyc4]

africans are smart, so its nothing new..

[thekool123ful]

Invent the next facebook and have it stolen and her name never mentioned again ....LOL history repeats it's self

[bluedreamer5000]

LOL she's beyond smart,she makes me feel stupid.

[garnet727]

Thank you media for FINALLY showing a story on Black Females that is POSITIVE!! WHEW!

[kwamemali]

So to all those who believe that Muslim Men dnt let there Women read,,work or go to school....well need I say more......

[codefused]

@kwamemali Yea, you're absolutely right: one success story nullifies the millions of other instances where Muslim women are denied basic rights and freedoms, and are treated as the property of men. Take a stroll through Saudi Arabia, will you.

[trueChaos23]

@kwamemali seeing as how this is in the united states where children MUST attend school...

[honeegrrl]

4 people will never get to Harvard. This is so amazing!

[IBstheboy]

@honeegrrl

Uh idk about only 4, seems like about 95% of people who apple wont go there

[sambam2694]

Beyonce pregnancy video has more views than this. Smh What a society we live in

[EhpicPhailure]

That's awesome! That's inspiring, for real.

[heckler171]

home school your children black PEOPLE!!!!! she'll probably be at the top of her class in those schools. don't let the system put junk into your mind.

[kipaniii]

@heckler171 I completely agree. Public schools are a wreck.

[tackfornow4]

@heckler171 I agree! Every Black person should be homeschooled or should go to a African centered school.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

interesting that someone at Yale felt she wasnt making the grade to be admitted.

[ARTSCRAFTGALLERY]

keep on keeping on young lady

[sweetj15]

[VegitoBlitz24]

That's great, so she wants to study neuroscience? Please, go on and find a cure for Alzheimer's... you definitely have the capability to do so.

[OneisTaken]

I'm proud of you.......Well done

[KhristalBadd]

Wonderful, such an inspiration to the youth!



[fred5399]

[nairobia1231]

She inspires so many young Muslim women to aspire to achieve their goals as well! And to whoever says that Muslim women are incapable of greatness: in your face. I LOVE THIS GIRL!

[lolToasty]

Why does Yale have to reject everyone? I applied SCEA... :(

[tayasoap]

[dojo20061]

[derals869]

[TheTelesha]

i could be wrong...but i dont get the feeling she'd be interested in creating the next facebook....odd comment...however,i am so excited for her! i can only imagine how her mother feels! =)

[finally0726]

Keep God w/ you always and stay humble. I'm so happy for you.

[samir3323]

[moneyaat]

[7blackphantomx7]

[mylifestylefun]

Alhamdulilahi,may Allah continue to be your guardian and continue to follow the footstep of the Prophet

[neteraset9]

Great story-other stories like this about our children are also posted on youtube.Crystal /Indigo children-this is what happens when we don't program these special kids to be dumbed down.

[DUANESKEE]

Amazing,congrats sista!!!!

[GagnezTV]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

-G

[iBarbieGirlx3]

Her name is close to mine!

[OneSummerSky]

She´s an inspiration, in sooo many ways! Her star will rise HIGH :)

[iluvmyboba]

Congratulations, Saheela!!!!! I want more stories like this 'til it is ridiculous. This young lady is very inspiring. This makes me happy.

[zaynabtyty1]

yep am so inspired especially with the fact that shez an HIJABIE

[LuV4RoBnFaB]

Excellent!

[noblesiner]

Very Exceptional Child.

[NaturallyNEFERTARU]

Yes! Good for her and all the people she inspires along the way. Thanks for this PBS.

[PositiveBlackStories]

@NaturallyNEFERTARU No problem!

[BillyKnockout]

Aaahh..this story is a breath of fresh air compared to the news stories thats aired daily . She , as well as her parents , are truly blessed .

[tanio12]

congrats and we thought all stories were about silly angry black women as the media likes to show

[daimon7]

@tanio12

This is a great story!

I'd like to respond to your comment. I'm going to assume here that she is a Muslim and was probably raised in a strong family environment with moral values. Most of the angry black women today never had that and that is the problem.

[tolldoll100]

@daimon7 I don't want to ruin the video with nonsense, but are you one of those black dudes that hate black women?

[mrwhatever213]

@daimon7 Angry? you sound like a snow monkey with that comment.

[daddybuck]

Hope she is not deep in college debt by 18 years old.

[yic3189]

@daddybuck

Hey DB, as *brilliant* as the girl is, she should be able to attend college on a FULL-ride with grants and scholarships...

I hope she is smart enough to know NOT go to to college if it's gonna result in her owing like $50,000-$200,000 in *debt*; especially are Harvard University!

[lovelydiva06]

@daddybuck she should get a full ride with scholarships with her scores

[EgyptianKeyz]

@daddybuck she probably has tons of well deserved scholarships coming her way!

[myalouis911]

@daddybuck Ivy League schools give good financial aid. If they know you cannot afford their school they will pay for everything. Im still amazed a lot of people still do not know this

[Misssunshine024]

WOW. Good for her she seems like a great girl.  Beautiful smile, nice attitude, and brains to boot. love that they shine some light on her and only 15...
