Moshe Kai Cavalin, 10, keeps his college classes assignments organized in separate clear plastic drawers at his home studio in Downey, Calif. Friday, May 2, 2008. The ten-year-old East Los Angeles College sophomore has an A-Plus average in his classes. College officials couldn't immediately say whether he is the youngest student in the school's 63-year history. Among child prodigies, Michael Kearney, now 24, is often cited as the world's youngest college graduate, having earned a Bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of South Alabama at age 10. But Cavalin's professors can't recall having a younger student in one of their classes. He hopes to be an astrophysicist in a few years.
