At a time when a massive college admissions scandal is causing many to lose faith in the idea that hard work gets you ahead, a Georgia teen who was accepted into more than 50 schools and awarded over $1 million in scholarship funding is spreading hope for some people.
Baker, the valedictorian of her 2019 class at Lucy C. Laney High School in Augusta, Georgia, said she currently has a 4.1 GPA. When asked how she was able to juggle so many activities and maintain her grades, the teen admitted she"gave up" on her social life, saying"I had to miss out on parties and stuff."
She also credits the support of her mother, retired Army veteran Denise Richards, for keeping her on track, calling her"my top motivator."
