Two degrees, flies planes, author, works at Nasa. His age? Just 17

Moshe Kai Cavalin has two college degrees, but he’s too young to vote. He flies airplanes, but he’s too young to drive a car alone.

Life is filled with contrasts for Cavalin, a 17-year-old from San Gabriel, California, who has dashed by major milestones as his age seems to lag behind. He graduated from community college at age 11.

Four years later, he had a bachelor’s in math from the University of California, Los Angeles.
