NOW THOUGH BACK TO THE DESK. >> THANK YOU. >>> QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR A RECENT BRONX SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. THE TEENAGER GOT 28 COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE LETTERS INCLUDING AT ALL EIGHT IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS. >> IT'S REMARKABLE. SHE AND HER TUTOR SPOKE WITH CBS 2'S KRISTIE KELESHIAN. >> I STILL THINK I'M DREAMING. >> BUT IT COULDN'T BE MORE TRUE.

PREP COURSES SINCE SIXTH GRADE AND CONTINUES TO TUTOR STUDENTS AND HELP WITH THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS. >> SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN A STANDOUT STUDENT. SHE'S THE FIRST ONE TO VOLUNTEER. SHE'S THE FIRST ONE TO TAKE ON ANY HARD TASK. >> THEY CAME TO THE UNITED STATES FROM ARGENTINA. THEY DIDN'T GO TO COLLEGE SO I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS OR SORT OF LIKE ANY REAL ADVICE. >> WHICH WAS A MAJOR DAMAGE FOR HER AND MANY OTHER STUDENTS IN HER POSITION. >> IF MY GRADES WERE NOT UP, IT HAD TO BE THE PRIORITY NO MATTER WHAT. I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR MY PARENTS TEACHING ME THAT. >> SHE IS SOMEONE WHO WILL BE A SOLID FORCE FOR GOOD, FOR POSITIVE CHANGE. >> SHE'S NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY SHE WANTS TO DO WITH HER DOUBLE MAJOR IN PHYSICS AND GOVERNMENT, BUT AFTER HAVING STARTED THE GENDER EQUALITY BOARD AT HER HIGH SCHOOL, SHE KNOWS SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE DOING ADVOCACY WORK AND GENDER EQUALITY. >> YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH. IF YOU GIVE YOURSELF 100% INTO SOMETHING I THINK YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING THAT YOU SET YOUR MIND TO. >> SHE SAYS ANOTHER KEY TO HER SUCCESS? FINDING A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS HER. IN FOREST HILLS, QUEENS, KRISTIE KELESHIAN, CBS 2 NEWS. >> DON'T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON HER BUT SHE SHOULD RUN FOR CONGRESS NOW. >> JUST AMAZING.
