Hello KJ, first congratulations on your success. I knew it from the start, that your such a great kid and look at you now, your doing the best. Keep it up, and again congratulations.

[@legxxhunter8372]

What was your cgpa. I also am graduating with aerospace engineering this year

[@haroldmurff6732]

Bro, how many summer school classes did you take in between M.I.T. to keep up or did you take any? And how are you preparing to for next level,like Stanford?

[@ll-zn2lv]

KJ Hardrict, How can I apply to MIT if I don’t take Calculus class at final grade of high school. But I only can take Pre-Calculus at final grade of high school, then will I get accepted from that university?

[@UnknownCartoonEditor]

This was a banger when the pandemic was going crazy. Thanks again for making it.

[@yutosmayonnaise8714]

This is literally the most therapeutic thing I've heard or watched this pandemic. Thank you KJ! Congrats man!

There is no telling what you can do. Thanks for showing yourself through this platform and show all you perfections and imperfections throughout it all you were a great role models for many and there will be many more chapters to be written as you said.

[@razorhxh7371]

Surprised you only have 85K subs. Channel like yours should have 8 million by now. It's stupid that youtube doesn't push this type of content but trends dumb apology videos from other youtubers. Keep working hard brother, you will do great things.

I've seen you grow from MIT to Stanford to right now, and your journey is such an inspiration to aspiring engineers like myself. Your videos are so thoughtfully crafted, and this one in particular was some absolutely mindful, powerful work. Please continue to do what you do

Man! At your age, what you have achieved and the way you are inspiring people is truly remarkable. We need people like you on KZbin to motivate the coming generations, being almost 5 years elder to you, I learned a lot from your videos. Just watching your videos helped me make my profile strong and helped me to land up an admission in World's and for that matter UK's top b school for my masters. Keep inspiring! And please upload videos frequently.

[@jennj8149]

Congratulations KJ, I literally cried while watching this video, thank you for sharing your life.

[@humairafasihahmed1754]

This video of yours came at a very appropriate time for me when I feel so pointless in tiring myself over figuring out how to be better. I am a high school senior, going to join college this fall in CS . There’s so much uncertainty and doubt and I fear losing out opportunities all the time since my school had no counsellors and neither got us to connect or network or do any of the worthwhile things. Yet I have grades in my AS level that no one has had in my city for a very long time. But there’s so much more than that and everything else that I try to work on. Just trying my best to do the best I have and doing CS50 on edX currently, hoping I’m actually able to gather great skills although I did set out on a personal project but even that is incomplete. Thank you for your videos ❤️ Just some things someone from Pakistan wished to say!

[@JolaMozyrska]

Try to teach yourself basics of competitive programming. It will help you not only in College but also during internship interview.

[@edmund6392]

Kudos to your parents. They molded a good man. Get it done brother. I don’t know you but I am so rooting for your success.

[@AmaraAnigbo]

This made me so happy. I went to Cerritos HS and I remember hearing when you got the Edison Scholarship and got into MIT. I am so happy that you have grown so much along your journey and stepped into the person you are called to be. Keep shining! :)

[@MichielDeJong56b5g]

I just wanted to say, you're my hero!

[@EduardoLopez-gt9vh]

Those 21 dislikes either lost motivation or can never see themselves achieving a lot. This video spoke so much about those who doubt themselves.

7:32...i felt it so related man, I considered myself less intelligent than others, that other people have greater IQ than me but its time brake that dilemma. I'm preparing to take one of the difficult exams in India to get admission in one of the prestigious colleges for engineering in India. Thank you brother for the push via your words.

[@curly-hairedassassin5233]

I'm studying Political Science in a top university in my country (Mexico), but I'll apply to selective data science and sociology programs both in the US and Europe. I'm going to put my whole effort into it, and we'll see the results soon. Thanks for everything. Keep it up!
