12-year-old American girl delivers lectures at Harvard and Yale

[shruthi_ks]

Blake Kernen has already co-authored a book with her father and delivers guest lectures at the Harvard Business School and Yale School of Management.
She is just like any other about-to-become teenager in Morristown, New Jersey, United States.

A sixth-grader -- her average day is packed with school, a visit to the chess or tennis club, a few hours in the swimming pool and at community work.

Some part of the day is also spent in writing books, her blog and a few hours are made available for television and newspaper interviews.

Last couple of weeks, she has also had to keep time aside for delivering lectures -- at b-schools or corporate bunches.

One of her last lectures was at the Harvard Business School where she spoke about "free enterprise and the moral case for capitalism." Her next lecture is slated for Yale in the coming week.

Blake Kernen described her Harvard visit: "Going to Harvard was incredible.

The Harvard Business School Chapter of the Adam Smith Society had invited my dad and me to talk about our book. The Harvard students were eager and enthusiastic to talk about capitalism. They inspired me to work even harder at school. They were also incredibly nice."

The book that Blake co-authored with her father (more than a year ago), Joe Kernen, CNBC's Anchor of Squawk Box, is titled Your Teacher Said What!? Trying to Raise a Fifth Grade Capitalist in Obama's America.

"The idea for the book started with conversations my parents and I had. My dad could see that I was only hearing liberal ideals, from movies, news and in my daily routine.

My parents wanted to provide me with a more politically balanced view of America and the world.

While writing the book, my dad and I would talk about a certain subject and he would get my take on it, and then we would go from there."
