 The
world is full of amazing kids. Moshe Kai Cavalin
is one of them. He was born to a Taiwanese mother and an Israeli father in America.
He lives with his parents in California. So, why is he so special? He is only 10 years
old, but he has already graduated from college! He is interested
in astrophysics the most. He
is not just an ordinary genius boy. His
dream is to help make the world a better place to live.
Cavalin doesn’t look very special. He looks just like a normal young boy. But he
is very special. His friends attend elementary school. But he
entered East Los Angeles
Community College two years ago. He studied astrophysics there and
graduated from the school with good grades on June 5 this year.
“He is the youngest college student
I’ve ever taught and one of the hardest working,” said
Daniel Judge, his statistics professor. “He’s
actually a pleasure to have in the class.
He’s a well-adjusted, nice little
boy.”
 Isn’t he
amazing? But he doesn’t think he is special. “I don’t consider myself a genius
because there are 6.5 billion people in this world
and each one is smart in his or her own way,”
he said. “Other students can also achieve success if they study hard
and stay focused on their work,”
he added. His parents also don’t want to call their son a genius.
“He is just an average kid who enjoys studying
as much as he likes playing
soccer, watching movies, and collecting toy cars,” his
mother said.
Like most kids, Cavalin wants to be a lot of different things when he
grows up. “I want to be a movie actor and compete in the 2016 Olympics
in martial arts,” he said. In fact, he earned numerous medals and trophies
for martial arts so far. The little boy likes
to play the piano, too. He likes to do many other things. However,
there is one thing doesn’t really like doing - playing video games.
“I feel it’s a waste of time to play video
games. And it does not help the world in any way,” he said.
Next year, Cavalin plans to enter a 4-year university.
Currently, he is taking a
break. He is enjoying playing the piano, scuba diving, practicing
martial arts and reading books. He is also writing his own book to
teach kids how to do well in school. “I like to study just because
knowledge leads to wisdom and only by wisdom
can we help the world,” said Cavalin. |
