Why this high school girl skipped graduation to attend Apple’s developer conference

Yahoo:

On Monday June 13th 350 seniors from Virginia’s Freedom High School class of 2016 in their school’s graduation ceremony at George Mason University as their friends and family looked on with pride.

At the same time 3,000 miles away in San Francisco, Apple CEO Tim Cook was showing off the latest updates to the company’s iOS and macOS software at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference.

And among the crowd of thousands packed into the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, decked out in her graduation cap and gown, was Freedom High School’s own Anusha Khan. A recipient of a coveted Apple scholarship, Khan skipped her own high school graduation after being selected to attend WWDC by the technology giant for her work on her app RemindM.

What a great story. I wish this young lady much success in her programming career.
