You'd think that an "unschooling" situation, where the student dropped out of school when she was eight would just make her more dumb than the rest of society. But this approach on the world sort of makes people more creative, if you think about it. Her parents didn't care what she did as long as she was happy, so I'm sure she could've stayed in school if she wanted to and if she felt like she needed to.  But since she had all day to pursue her passion, photography, she got more and more creative as she went on. These sort of life experience's prove that we all don't need to be the same. I admire people who drop out of school to do what they love and ACTUALLY succeed, that takes a lot of skill and effort. Even more so skill than the skill it takes to get into a college and get a successful career after school. It isn't necessarily set up for you, but it's a lot easier to follow your dreams if you could go to school for it and it's one of the basic things that everyone will go for. Since a lot of people pursue careers that involve going to college there are a lot more of them, since there is a higher demand. An artistic career takes a ton of school, you need to stand out from the rest to succeed in a career like this. I will forever be jealous of all those successful artsy people because they're doing exactly what they want for the rest of their lives.
