A 14-year-old boy has become the youngest student to graduate from Texas Christian University in the US.
Carson Huey-You received his degree majoring in physics and minoring in maths and Chinese on Saturday, May 13.
Despite his incredible achievement, Carson is hesitant to accept the label of genius, insisting that he's just a "normal dude."
Carson Huey-You became the youngest ever graduate at his college
In an interview, he said: "I’m a normal dude. It is just something I have learned to deal with because, to me I am not a genius. I am a normal 14-year-old person doing college-level stuff."
Well, his modesty can't be faulted but one thing is certain—only a genius of sorts would get a college degree in physics at the age of 14.
