00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: fascinating story. Imagine being sixteen years old and graduating college already,

Speaker 1: years whoa, I'm gonna bring in Emily Besnos of Tarzana,

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: who did this at UCLA? Always a goal? Hello, it's Ryan,

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Sisni and Tani. How are you hi? I'm good. Well,

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say right now, I am not qualified

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: to interview you because I dropped out of college, so

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: please don't judge me. Emily, how did you do it? Well? So,

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: when I was in high school, I was confurrently enrolled

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: and started taking classes in community college. And I started

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: out taking coasses that were just interesting to me, like dance, history, philosophy, psychology, anthropology,

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: and then kind of as I became more comfortable this,

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: I started to take biology, chemistry, calculus, and then when

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: I had enough units, I was able to transfer to

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: a UC. Wow, and you did it in two years.

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: like to go to school with college age kids? Um?

19
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: So I was kind of younger than everyone in my

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: class growing up, even in elementary school and middle school,

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: and well I got accepted into UCLA when I was fourteen,

22
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: and then I started when I turned fifteen. But it

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: was it didn't feel very weird or anything to me.

24
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Everyone was very friendly. No one really knew how old

25
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: I was or anything. Got it. And in addition to

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: this kind of since it was COVID times, everyone was

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,680
