Although a few questioned her achievements:
"Doesn't it normally take 3 years per degree?" one user asked. "How did you manage 4, is there a method?"

Martinez simply explained that she completed high school at age 16, received her first degree at 18 and her second degree at 21.
"My third and fourth (BPTC and Masters which I did at the SAME TIME) at 22," she claimed.

Another user asked if Martinez had much of a childhood, suggesting she must have "always (been) grinding every waking hour of the day" to become so successful at such an early age.
The 22-year-old quipped that she had a childhood that included "climbing trees" and "playing in the yard."
"I went out a lot from high school until now. But I’m still figuring things out," she admitted.
Martinez's tweet has received over 40,000 likes since she posted it on Wednesday.
