shes hot

[Bootsportal]

@xLeaFHoppeRx yes she is

@larisster Wait he sounds stupid? If some one got a dream they should follow it . She decided it on her own and she enjoys it so there is nothing wrong with it. And a 15 year old girl should be on school and hang out with her friends? you know true friends never will go away even if she is traveling around the world! and school? she gain more experience and knowledge in this period than she would on a school.

Your opinion just sound abit to nostalgic for me we live in 2012 not in 1950

@johnnygamer2011 Wrong again, they're Dutch, I'm American, with an appreciation of both sailing and human achievements.

@gigaflopper Of course you are not unemployed, you are actually her rich daddy defending her. Quite obvious.

[gigaflopper]

@johnnygamer2011 Nice try. It is go-getters and goal setters like Laura that wind up being the shepherds of the world, not the sheep. And I am neither unemployed nor a welfare-taker, quite the contrary. But thanks for the laugh today.

@awuma Sure, like some stupid parents who keep their kids away from school and say 'We can educate them at home', right?

[johnnygamer2011]

@gigaflopper I indeed do not understand how some people like you are so dumb. She skipped homework, it is known. Her school complained about her lack of dedication to school and she dropped school assignments for a very long time. If everyone would be so irresponsible as you, they would all be unemployed welfare-takers like yourself.

[awuma]

@chaskaa We agree! I wonder if her dad was on the Live-aboard mail list I ran for 15 years?

@johnnygamer2011 I don't think you quite understood what I was saying. I think that the knowledge, experience and maturity gained in the course of her voyage will allow her to very quickly catch up and probably surpass pupils her age in school. Anyway, I do believe that there are many ways to be educated, not just as the education machine demands.

@johnnygamer2011 Oh please you can't even take a moment to praise someone else's accomplishment; you only marginalize it and put her down. To achieve her dream of being the youngest to sail around the world she had to start early. She was in school through Wereldschool through most of her journey and she can still complete the same formal classroom curriculum as well now that she’s achieved her goal. You are correct the situation is quite simple. It is you that does not understand however.

[johnnygamer2011]

@gigaflopper Look up "education", "responsibilities" and "obligation". You will be amazed at what you can achieve if you consider those things. This kid was 14 years old when she sailed. The law of her country obliges her to attend school until she passed 16. Is that really so hard for you to understand? If she did this after finishing high school, good for her. But she is a kid and should be at school. Don't try to be such a smart-ass, ok? The situation is quite simple. Geez.

[gigaflopper]

@johnnygamer2011 & @larisster Look up "crab mentality" on wikipedia, that's you. The only resounding achievements I'm sure you'll ever accomplish in life is your ability put down other people to feel better about your own lack of dreams or ambition.
