Well, what a very clever young girl she is, and I am sure she will go a long way if she carries on this way. This is amazing at such a young age. Hope that in the future she manages to achieve whatever she sets out to do, whatever her goals may be.

Have you tried contacting Microsoft, especially if you have something new and something they might be interested in? You never know your luck, you might have the same success!

Oh well ahahah
