In today's world, you don't have to be a genius, rich, or even older than 21 to get ahead and be successful. A young girl named Ashley Qualls proved that when she became founder of a popularly growing website entitled Whateverlife.com in which today is a million dollar asset that she owns. Even though myspace and facebook are the top teen sites, Whateverlife is on the rise as being among he elite which gives teens a chance to post ideas, browse others information, and even chat amongst strangers. It almost seems unreal to hear about a 15 year old's hobby becoming a dream-come-true in which she was able to drop out of high school in order to run her own business privately the way she wants to. Until she becomes 18, the court has assigned her a conservator who legally runs the business. Whateverlife has attracted over 7 million individuals and 60 million page views a month. It seems as if Ashley were to get an education and use that knowledge accordingly, she will ultimately have the chance to become the next Bill Gates. Ashley in my mind is one of those lucky teens who did not necessarily have intentions of being rich off of something that she does in her spare time but was fortunate enough to have her work discovered and now is on the way to easy street passing high school lane and college ave. I personally would love to be in her shoes right about now. Until next time, peace and love.

It is amazing how a young person can become a millionaire. I guess Kanye West was right, you don't need school to become wealthy!
It is amazing how someone can just pick up something and all of a sudden become a millionaire with little or no experience.
I was thinking the same thing. I think the article mentioned something about her getting her GED, but if she continues to be this successful in the future there really is no need for her to go to college. This is especially true if she builds her company up and eventually sells it.
