She said what made her successful was her time management, which she described as "insane".
She also noted that her dog tried to eat her homework, and no- not papers, but actually dead animal organs.
Both parents never stepped into college and could not be prouder for their little girl.
As for Nataly, the straight As student hopes to earn her bachelor's degree and, after that, go into nursing.
