![“You wouldn’t believe how surprised people are when you say you skipped kindergarten and you're only 15 in 11th grade. I don't even have a driver's license [yet]. That usually surprises people because everyone else is 16 going on 17. I just [always] felt kind of different from everyone. [People think that I’m] not as mature and [don’t have a] strong mental capacity and some think a little less of [me] for being younger. Everyone assumed I was a young, innocent kid. [But] I wouldn't do anything different. I love where I am [and] what I do now. So maybe it would have been a bit easier. But hey, I’m here, and I can't change.” – Clayton Merz, 11](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/kmerz-1-900x600.jpeg)
