An eight-year-old girl has caught the eye of administrators at the University of North Texas and won herself a $10,000 scholarship to the school.

Jordin Phipps got the scholarship and early admittance because of a motivational video she was in.

Her mother, Nicole Smith, who is a North Texas University alum, took the video of her daughter reciting her class’ motivational catch phrase while wearing a university t-shirt.

“I am smart; I am a leader. Failure is not an option for me,” Jordin confidently states in the video. “Success is only moments away… I have the attitude of a North Texas Eagle.”
