Hopefully this kid doesn’t talk over his interviewers the way he kept talking over Dr Gray.

@@mianhaziq not really, it's something I have done before so it's funny to see someone else do it.

You do realize that there's a delay in the video chat system right? It's not like they're actually sitting right in front of each other. That leads to the perception of people talking over each other.

@@CDCrest I am on zoom and webex every single day and many times we record them for people to watch later if they missed the meeting. There is no delay.

This kid is very bright and clearly knows his goal. He has some amazing self discipline and direction to apply himself as he did so young; regardless of whatever start or fantastic support system he has. props to him for using resources to his advantage and achieving well.
