The girl did not do the project to get a grade. She was conducting a social experiment in the first person. Sort of like the caucasian woman and man that took melanin and made their skin dark to see life from the perspective of people that were then called negroes. The teen conducted a bold and imaginative experiment. My hope is that she took excellent notes and writes a meaningful book. The Congressional delegation for her state should offer her a summer internship, working in Congress. I see her as having what all teens should have, imagination, courage, inquisitiveness and discipline.
