Genius genes? Carson Huey-You, 14, becomes youngest person to graduate from Texas Christian University

A few days ago, we were in awe of Indiana teen Raven Osborne who graduated college before she received her high school diploma. Just when we thought it couldn't get better, here comes another teen who has become the youngest person to graduate from Texas Christian University. How old is Carson Huey-You you ask? Well, he is 14, who should ideally have been in the ninth grade.

Carson graduated from TCU on Saturday, May 13, and was among the 2,010 students who received their degrees from Chancellor Victor J Boschini Jr. The 14-year-old is now a physics major and his minors were Maths and Chinese. And if that wasn't enough, he now plans to pursue a doctorate in quantum mechanics. Carson is said to have spoken about his liking for maths when he was three and received his high school diploma when he was 10.

While anyone reading this would think that Carson is a genius, he begs to differ. "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," he told the Star-Telegram.

Though he said that he had to deal with some really tough subjects such as American environmental history, general chemistry II and classical mechanics – he said the last one "hurt" – he admitted he did enjoy college. "Getting to learn new things about things you never thought about, things that you never knew existed, things that you might not even think about thinking about," he explained.

In college Carson initially got pretty much of a star treatment from fellow students. Considering he had already made news for being just 11 when he enrolled for a degree in physics at the university, numerous students recognised him and even wanted pictures with him, revealed his mother Claretta Kimp. "It does still happen," she added.

Meanwhile, he isn't the only genius in the family. His brother Cannan, 11, also has carved a path for himself and will join TCU this fall. He plans to major in astrophysics and engineering and intends to become an astronaut some day.

The proud mother was seen getting emotional at Carson's graduation ceremony and hopes that her two sons grow up to be good and responsible human beings who give back to the society.
