Question

    Braxton Moral walked across the stage at his high school in Ulysses, Kansas, as a graduate. Soon after that, the 17-year-old marked another milestone(里程碑): receiving his degree from Harvard University.

Moral's parents got him admitted to the world-famous university when he was just 11. "My parents noticed I was bored in school and needed something to encourage growth, so they ended up finding the Harvard Extension School," he said.

"Most courses can be taken online, but Extension School students also must earn 16 credit(学分) hours in person in the school in Cambridge, Massachusetts," said Moral.

Studying for both high school and Harvard at the same time wasn't easy. But officials in his high school took a lot of the work off, allowing Moral to spend a few hours each day working on Harvard's coursework.

Moral has always been drawn to law and politics, and he's now hoping to go to law school. "I am, of course, excited to end this stage of my life and hungry to begin the next," he said.

Moral's older sister, Brittney Jo Seger, told reporters that her brother has always been gifted(有天赋的). "When he was little, his vocabulary was amazing" she said. "Something my mom, sister and I noticed early on was his memory. That's one of the things that make him unbelievable. He can look at anything or read anything, and he will immediately remember it forever."

Moral's book, Harvard in the Heartland, is also coming out, which is about his experience as "a gifted boy from a small farming town".
