"People were like, 'She's never going to amount to anything. She's throwing her life away,' Lambert, now 21, tells TODAY.com. "So I said to myself, 'I'm going to prove them wrong. I'm going to be a success story."
"My name is Madeleine, but one day it will be Dr. Lambert. The world has given me labels, but this one - this title - I will earn myself."
"This is the best personal statement I've ever read," one person wrote. Added another, "As an admission director for a school, this is a beautiful essay and truly encompasses who you are and who you want to be."
"Just the amount of resources I'm going to have access to, it doesn't feel real," Lambert says, noting that she's loved science since she was a little girl.
