Too Smart for School

Brittany Wenger, a National Honors Society high school senior who could be headed to Harvard, or possibly Stanford or Duke, might need to rethink her definition of normal.

“I'm basically just your normal teenager,” says Wenger, 18. “I like to hang out with my friends and go to the beach.”

She also likes to play spades with her 14-year-old brother, spend time with her parents and, being that she founded her high school's science club, introduce her friends to new ideas. She volunteers at a camp for kids with disabilities, and she's a midfielder on the varsity soccer team at the Out-of-Door Academy in Sarasota.
