And I thought a Nobel Prize can't get you friends.

So, yeah.

And I also even at school, I ran for the head girl position because I was working really hard.

I wanted to be part of every club, every society.

So when I heard about the school head girl position, I ran for that and I lost.

And that made me so upset because you want to be embraced and accepted by your college students and by your school friends.

It means so much because I was still young.

I was still very young, even though I received the Nobel Prize before I had even completed my high school.

But in the end, I'm still 17.

And you just want to be in the cool friends group at the same time.

No, 17.

Yeah, a bit too late.

No.

Of course it was in the news.

But I remember that day when the announcement was supposed to be made.

And my father said that I should skip my school day because what if they announce?

And I said, Dad, everybody who thinks that I'm going to win this is crazy.

And I said, I am going to go to my school.

And I was in my chemistry class.

and my school's deputy head teacher walked in, and she called me outside, and she usually calls you when you are in trouble.
