Child Prodigies Graduate From High School And College

Young Genius Brothers, 11 and 14 Years Old, Graduate from High School and College.



Two genius brothers from Texas, Carson and Cannan Huey-You, have simultaneously graduated from high school and college. Carson, who is just 14 years old, just graduated from Texas Christian University with a degree in physics. He was the youngest graduate in the school's history.

Cannan, who is just 11 years old, just graduated from high school and will start studying at TCU in the fall - majoring in astrophysics and engineering. The two are not just brothers, but also best friends and study partners.

Just normal?

Their mom, Claretta Kimp, told the Washington Post: "They are just normal little boys who do normal little boy things."

But these boys are far from normal; They are in fact brilliant child prodigies! At such young ages, they have accomplished a lot academically, and their goals are far different from what most kids their age are thinking about.

"Yes, they're smart," their mom said, "but that's just a small part of who they are."

Early signs of genius

Their mom says that things really hit her when Carson was just 3-years old, and told her outright: "I really want to learn calculus." She says that she went out and bought him a calculus book, and he was able to solve the problems.

Not without challenges

Being so smart at such a young age, however, doesn't come without challenges, and in fact, Carson faced quite a few challenges that his classmates didn't. For example, the online forms for federal financial assistance don't include his age in the drop-down menu. This means that he really didn't qualify for financial aid.

In addition, as a child, he wasn't able to just walk around on campus by himself. He needed a chaperone on campus, and so his mom had to drive him to school every day and walk him to and from all his classes.

Cannan also had his set of challenges. At age 5, he started out in Kindergarten just like any other kid, but by 2nd grade, he got bored and asked to be homeschooled. Then, his mom saw the "light bulb moment" for the second time. She realized she had two geniuses on her hand.

So, Cannan was soon enrolled in the same private high school that Carson attended. But again because of his age, he needed to be protected and supervised differently, so he was allowed to mostly work remotely from the TCU campus alongside his brother.

So, what's next?

The sky is the limit, and only time will tell where these two young geniuses will end up. Carson says he wants to get a PhD, and Cannan is already planning to be an astronaut.

But their story is so extraordinary, both may be the subjects of their very own movie one day! (Source BlackPR.com)

Motivational Mondays With Purpose Minded Expert Terryl Ebony

Be In It to Win it! I'm in it to win it! There's no turning back. There's only forward thinking and moving. #FindYourPurpose #BuildingProducers

Keep Pushing and Producing. Whatever you are going through, someone else has it worse. Keep pushing. Keep producing. #FindYourPurpose #BuildingProducers

Get Intentional. Good morning lovelies! Begin this week as intentional as your morning routine. When you are intentional, things get done. When you wing it, things you just never know. #FindYourPurpose #BuildingProducers

Choose to Produce! Good Day! You can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. The choice is yours. Choose wisely. #FindYourPurpose #BuildingProducers #StrategicThinker #EmbraceYourPurpose

The Reality of Business - Running a business is not easy. It takes so much and offers so little; but the little is worth more than the lot combined. It is hard and scary work. It takes time, lots of time. It takes sacrifice. It takes productivity. It takes creativity. It takes knowledge (or hire someone). It takes guts. It takes faith. It takes money. It takes intuition. It takes balance. However, if done properly, it offers abundance. That's what I'm patiently working towards and I know it will come. Just hang in there. Keep Producing! #IamAProducer #FindYourPurpose

Good day producers - A good Producer is a good listener and learner. #IamAProducer #FindYourPurpose

Get with the Times or Else - Time will not wait for you to decide to move. It's moving all on its own. You either go with the flow or get left behind. Choice is yours. Stop Procrastinating. Stop making excuses. #IamProducer #UnapologeticTruthTeller #FindYourPurpose #BuildingProducers

Keep it Real - I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. I tell it like it is and keep it moving. That's the why I run my business. I love you enough not to lie to you or give you false hopes and dreams.
