Yeah but kudos to the young kid for being clear about it instead of using it to brag like most of us would at her age.

Also, while it is true that anyone could have done it, she actually took the initiative and did it, while most kids her age haven’t done something like this. She took an interest, she went through the grind, she remained humble after the fact. That’s a kid raised well.

She had the initiative to participate in an organized campaign combing through the data with others in a very organized fashion and continue after finding nothing in two previous campaigns
