S2 E201-Britain’s Brightest Teenager

Notes & Links

A sixteen-year-old British-Pakistani girls holds the record for the most A stars on the Bristish GSCE exams.  Mahnoor Cheema scored 34 A stars on the exams and is currently studying to break another academic record.  Fiorella congratulates the young teen on her record, and she reveals just how prestigious this accomplishment is.  She will discuss what these exams are and why just about every British teenager has to take at least five. However, Fiorella does have one question, what is this teenager missing out on, if her nose is always in the books? What kind of memories are she missing out on? Finally, if her nose is always in the books, how does she plan to be a doctor? A doctor is more than just knowing medicine, it is also about connecting with your patients.  Listen to this episode of the Early Show for answer to those questions, and why in the wild world of sports is Fiorella talking about ninjas?
