When you were eight, what was your favourite thing to do? There’s no shame in answering ‘watching cartoons’ or ‘playing video games’. If you’re eight now, there’s still no shame in it. But for Moshe Kai Cavalin, his favourite activity when he was eight is anyone’s guess.

Cavalin, now 14, has just published his first book. Sure, he’s not the only young’n to get a book published, but it’s his content that’s rare. The book is about his experience at college… as an eight year old.

When he was just eight years old, he was enrolled to study at the East Los Angeles Community College where he received one of two Associate of Arts degrees by age nine. He graduated with a perfect 4.0 average. Now, he’s preparing to graduate from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in math. After that, he’s planning on pursuing his masters.

Cavalin has always maintained that he’s not a genius, just a hard worker. “People need to know you don’t really need to be a genius. You just have to work hard and you can accomplish anything,” he said in an interview earlier this week. His book, WE CAN DO, outlines how it was simply hard work that got him where he is today, not necessarily intelligence… and limiting TV to four hours a week.

We don’t even want to know how much Facebook he’s not allowed to go on! But, it’s worked out well for him. His hard work has paid off!
