Good News14-year-old ready to graduate from UCLA, share secrets of success
Moshe Kai Cavalin enrolled at East Los Angeles Community College at the age of eight.
Now, at 14, he's ready to graduate from UCLA. The math major will then enroll in graduate school with the plan to, eventually, earn a doctorate.
"People need to know you don't really need to be a genius. You just have to work hard and you can accomplish anything," says Cavalin.
The teen has just published the 100-page instructional book We Can Do, in which he shares his own secrets of success and encourages young people to accomplish great things.
"I was able to reach the stars, but others can reach the Milky Way," he wrote.
The book took four years to finish. It was first published in his mother's native Mandarin and translating it personally "was laborious." We Can Do has already done well in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
The young scholar still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up.
"That's a very distant future, and I'm pretty much planning for just the next few years. That's too far into the future for me to see," he said.
When he's not studying, Cavalin loves to scuba dive, play soccer and hone his martial arts skills. One thing he doesn't do much? Watch TV.
