Moshe Kai Cavalin is, in all other respects, pretty normal. He likes tigers, soccer and Jackie Chan. It's just that he also likes statistics...
Cavalin is now an A+ sophomore at East Los Angeles College; he hopes to transfer to a more prestigious four-year school within the year "if he keeps his grades up" (um, I think he'll manage). He wants to study astrophysics so that he can prove the existence of wormholes and wormhole-black-hole-tandem-time-travel, which is so exactly the kind of thing you'd expect from a bespectacled little child prodigy. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and call him a genius.
But he's hardly the only one. Michael Kearney, now 24, earned his BA from the University of South Alabama at 10; he's often cited as the world's youngest college grad.
Sho Timothy Yano is close on his heels: Yano enrolled at Loyola University Chicago when he was 9 and graduated summa cum laude three years later. He's now working towards a medical degree and a freaking PhD at the University of Chicago.
And yes, it's not all guys! Alia Sabur, now 19, graduated summa cum laude from SUNY Stony Brook at 14; she got her masters from Drexel University at 17.
If you're not feeling stupid and/or lazy yet, just read up on Cavalin, and how he's going to probably ace his piano final -- even with a broken arm.
