By 16, she was already well on her way.
.
One week before her high school graduation, Grace donned a cap and gown for another auspicious ceremony: Her college graduation.
.
While completing her high school coursework on an accelerated schedule — and playing flute in two orchestras — she simultaneously earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in Spanish from a south Florida university.
.
The rare feat of celebrating both graduations within one week of each other is impressive, but Grace maintains that it didn't take extraordinary ability — just extraordinary dedication. “I think anyone my age can do what I did,” she told TODAY.com. “It’s not hard — it’s just hard work.”
.
That’s a sentiment she’s learned from her parents, “It’s been like that all my life!” Grace said.
.
On her future goals, Grace added: “I believe that my purpose in life is to create peace,” Grace said. “Being a judge on the Supreme Court is something that can help me do that.”
