1 down; six to go....
6:25am. First envy attack of the day.
Not to worry. Driving around the high school and parking at Church will take of the anger...

Some said that at 9 years old, Sho Yano was too young for college. Then he graduated in three years. Summa cum laude. This June, the shy 12-year-old, who speaks barely above a whisper, will defy the skeptics once again when he becomes perhaps the youngest student to enroll in a medical school. He has been awarded a full scholarship to the University of Chicago.

After processing tons of CCD applications in which every other child is extremely gifted I’m fascinated reading about this really different child. As much as I wanted to dislike him, he strikes me as a nice, decent kid. And I’m sure his talents will bring burdens in equal measure.

“People just need to know my talent is from God," he said in his quiet tone one day on campus, "and I will use it for other people as much as I can."

Then with his mom and sister by his side, he walked on in his determined way, his head held down.
