Fifteen days before to her high school graduation, Seljon received her bachelor’s degree in mathematics from North Dakota State University. Dickison Press claims that even though she has already completed her college degree, she still needs to write an essay and take an advanced placement economics test to finish high school.
“If you had told me a year ago that this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have believed it. Right now, it’s a mixture of emotions, but overall I am really thrilled and grateful,” she said.
Seljon noted that she and her family did not understand that the Advanced Placement subjects she chose at Sheyenne Middle School could add up to a bachelor’s degree until later.
She is a diligent worker and not a nerd. It became evident that she could graduate after she completed AP tests and received credits, according to Seljon’s father, Azer Akhmedov, a math professor at her institution.
She said graduating high school and college in the same month did not mean she gave up her teenage years. She mentioned that she was able to balance her academics together with her fun times.
“I feel like math is something I enjoy, so spending time for that, even for requirements, I enjoyed it.” “It’s kind of like being two different students,” Akhmedli said. “In high school, I had a lot more friends, but at NDSU, I still had friends, but it was a different environment,” Seljon said.
“I guess I really didn’t play video games, but I wouldn’t have played video games anyway.” Seljon said her journey started in the sixth grade when she began taking seventh-grade high school math courses.
She claimed that she took a college sociology course in ninth grade just for fun and quickly found that she preferred college courses to high school ones. Seljon’s interests include chemistry, biology, and creative writing in addition to numbers, topology, and dynamical systems. He also played soccer and played music.
Seljon will be attending Northwestern University to pursue her doctorate in mathematics. She claimed that the caliber of the mathematics department was the main reason she choose the university, and she also mentioned that she connected with the faculty members there..
