Black student, 17, could become a teacher by the time she is 19 years old.

Hannah Pearson, a 17-year-old college student from Robeson County, North Carolina, is on track to become a licensed teacher before turning 19. She finished high school early, and has already graduated from Robeson Community College with an associate of arts. She is now majoring in Elementary Education at the University of North Carolina, Pembroke.

With an early start and a strong drive, Hannah is making remarkable progress in her education journey. “Because I just love to learn new information and just explore, learning many things,” She told WRAL.

Her mother Miranda McNair, who has been a teacher at Fairmont High School for 28 years, proudly watched her daughter as she achieved her goals.

“She is self-driven. Even into foreign languages. She [says], oh, I want to learn a new language, so she’ll learn Korean, learn Spanish and learn Portuguese,” she said.

Hannah started taking advantage of North Carolina’s Career and College Promise Program when she was in the 10th grade. This program offers free education, making it really affordable for students like her. With this program, she managed to pile up an impressive 60 college credits.

“I believe you can do anything you put your mind to,” she said. “It doesn’t matter how well the next person does it. The only thing that matters is you and your drive.”

Her dad, Brian McNair, couldn’t be prouder. Inspired by his daughter’s drive, he made a big decision – to go back to school himself. He recently earned his bachelor’s degree from UNC Pembroke.

“I can’t tell her to do something, to go after something that I haven’t achieved myself… so I got back into school at UNC Pembroke,” he said. “God has given her a platform to show other kids that this is achievable.”

At least once a day, Dr Paul Morrison stands at one of his upstairs windows with a pair of binoculars and counts the seabirds flying past. ‘I don’t think I’ll ever stop doing that as long as I live here,’ he says. The birds hail from Coquet island, a stunning six-hectare outcrop (a mile offshore from his Northumberland home) which is home to 40,000 breeding seabirds, including puffins and rare roseate terns.

I had the great privilege of spending US election night with Emily Maitlis as she began her gradual descent into madness. Unfortunately, I had to leave the Channel Four studio early – to catch a plane back from Washington to London. So I missed the bit where those swing states began turning Republican red, and when Emily apparently started swearing in frustration. But I could already see that she was getting pretty revved up. At one point she turned to me and glared tragically through kohl-rimmed eyes: ‘Would YOU leave your children alone in the company of Donald Trump?’ she asked, as if that were some clinching political argument.
