The World's Youngest MCP Passes Away

I'd read about this young lady before, I was quite sad to see this headline today as I was browsing the web: Programming Prodigy Passes Away at 16: Hear Her Philosophy of Life

Yeah, certified at 9 years old, pretty crazy. When I was nine I don't think I even knew what Microsoft was...

Thanks for posting this, Slowhand.

It's these kinds of stories I love to read to keep myself focused in life. I feel deeply for Arfa Karim Randhawa's family to lose somebody with so much talent.

I can go on about how life can be so unfair, but why? The fact that Arfa was born, she made the commitment when most at her age are tripping through the first stages of life is truly amazing. When I was nine years old, I just discovered Sierra On-Line's "Police Quest" and eventual their various other adventures games such as Leisure Suit Larry! Arfa definitely surpassed me at nine years old to where I stand at twenty-nine/thirty!

My hearts and feelings go out to her family as well as gratitude and thanks. Where I live, we are experiencing a slight Arctic blast but I refuse to let that stop me from making an impact and contribute to my colleagues to get through the work day. Eventually, we will get to Friday, then the weekend and the cycle repeats to go out and perform as best as possible! Thank you Arfa, may you rest peacefully.

When I was 9, It wasn't POSSIBLE to be an MCP.
