Yeah, but she'd have almost certainly had to graduate HS, which she'd have had to do at 17 or younger. So she is either young for her class year or graduated early b/c she is an excellent student, which begs the question, why not go to college as someone who ticks all sorts of diversity boxes and could easily be admitted to plenty of schools. Seriously, this person is an admissions officer's wet dream. A hispanic, trans, female ? Winner winner, chicken dinner ! They would be bragging about how much scholarship money they awarded this person.

Also, if she actually had a certificate, there is zero doubt in my mind it would have been mentioned as in "who is a licensed practical nurse.." instead of how it was worded in the article. There are all manner of people claiming to be "street medics", just like there are tons of "press".. they use these fake titles to drum up extra sympathy when the cops beat their asses...one of these shitheads is going to end up trying to emulate a technique they saw on a hospital show and kill someone.
