Missoula Student Candidate for Presidential Scholars Program
KGVO News spoke with Autumn and her mother Kathrene on Friday about the honor.
Kathrene said she knew her daughter was brilliant at a very early age.
“I knew I was in trouble in kindergarten when I went down into her room and I said, you know, you need to clean your room and she said, ‘Mom, I m too tired to clean’, and I said, ‘well then Autumn, get on your bed and take a nap. Because if you re too tired to clean, then, you know you re too tired to play’. And she looked at me and she said, Mom, Occam’s razor’s not always right.’ I went upstairs and called my husband and said, ‘Who s Occam and why does he have a razor? And why does this mean she can t clean her room?’
