Homeschooled Teen Chosen to Be Rhodes Scholar

Galveston native Ginger Turner is one of 32 Americans chosen this year as Rhodes Scholars, the Rhodes Trust announced Sunday. She will attend the University of Oxford in England starting in fall 2007 to study international relations and politics. "I was so surprised," said Turner, 23, who was home-schooled as a teen. "Everyone who was interviewing was really fantastic, so I didn't know if I had a good chance against them."
