For those in despair, a story of hope for the future

Youngest-ever MSU graduate wants to save the world

By GAIL SCHONTZLER Chronicle Staff Writer

The girl with dark hair falling down to her waist smiled for her graduation photo, looking a lot like any other student about to graduate from Montana State University.

She and her mom laughed as they tried to figure out which end of the black cap goes in front. Mom secured the mortarboard with bobby pins to keep it from flying away in the breeze.

Then they posed together, touching foreheads. Mom smiled and looked right in her serious girl's eyes and said how very, very proud she was of her daughter.

She may look like any other student about to graduate, but Promethea Olympia Kyrene Pythaitha is only 14 years old.

This young lady is the future, unless the fascists take their normal course and she is killed for being too smart (as is the wont of fascist dictatorships).

The US is a hard place for honest humanitarians to live. But I am pulling for her (and in doing so, I'm pulling for us, too).

I hope for the best in her life.

I hope she finds a way to get more college like she wants... hopefully, she can find scholarships.
