Now, THIS is a WONDERFUL news story. Amidst all of the violence and other bad news, I would like to see more stories like these. Congratulations, family!😊👋🏾👨🏾⚕️
14 years older, $1.6 million in scholarships, and accepted at 14 colleges (Harvard, Yale!), that’s just incredible. I can’t wait to see how he changes the world.
@@nflproductions5380 He might have already by just existing. Maybe some kid watching didn't even know what cyber security looked into because of him. Maybe an adult just decided to go back to college and finish their degree. The Butterfly Effect. Who would have a thought a patent office clerk, Alber Einstein, would have a ripple through history?
Finally a story that puts a smile on your face and a spark in your heart. Congratulations! young man, wish you well in your new endeavors. I can tell your parents are extremely proud!
I found this pretty relatable graduating from high school at 16 and getting my bachelors this summer at 20. Its DEFINITELY not a route I recommend for everyone as you'll be leaving your friends behind and entering an enviroment where you're expected to act like a responsible adult. The kid in the video seems to be pretty mature and had solid goals like getting a PHD so I have no doubt he'll suceed.
The parents of this young man did *such* an outstanding job, and he is doing an outstanding job himself! Go, parents! Go, Curtis! :-) I live near the D.C. area, and this is such a beautiful and inspiring story that it makes this middle-aged man cry tears of joy! :-)
Wow!!!! 🤩🥳🤓 We tip out hats 🎩 in honor!! These young AA boys, students, and future successes are needed mentors for us. The parents have certainly passed the great achievement baton. 🙌🏽👏🏽🤜🏾🤛🏽💗. All the best to this family and all others who’re making a positive contribution to society. 🙆🏽♀️
AS A PARENT AND A GRANDPARENT THAT LOVES HIS FAMILY ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!! ENOUGH SAID!!! PLEASE GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THIS FAMILY AND GIVE THOSE PARENTS DIRECTION!!! PEACE!!!!
Passing over Harvard and Yale I think was good because he is black and a HBCU is what our black youth need if going to college. I'm glad the name of the institution didn't have influence on his decision. Great choice for FAMU🙏🏽
Why does the title say 14 when he introduced himself as 16? Either way its an awesome accomplishment. Congratulations!! Good luck with all future endeavors.
Wow young man! I'm still crying my head off. I watched with my 4yr old son and I can see even more of a drive in his eyes. I'm so proud of him. I know his family especially his mom is floating from happiness. Represent honey. And please please please please, stay super safe. Precious cargo!
Thank you for sharing this positive image of our black boys. Now, Black society we must paint our own narratives of our black men women and children, and stop them from showing negative images of our black people.
He is not my son nor did I know him but I am proud and happy for him I hope my sons turn out the same or at least close. Good Luke young man I pray God continues to bless you.
When I was 16 I had 40 credits and was a junior and they refused to graduate me early, so when I got out of high-school I had 48 credits. The school system is a joke.
0:31 Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it. congrats to the young man, and most importantly congrats to the father for practicing something that's been taught for over 2,000 years and it's still effective today!!
This is wonderful, and well deserved. Due to his young age, I hope the parents will be aware of any social concerns that may arise during his college tenure to help him through.
Congratulations young man so proud of you and your accomplishments good luck in your future endeavors!! ❤ Thanks for sharing a positive story we need more of them! Your parents did an amazing job 🙏❤
I’m also going to finish high school at 14, but the high school course I’m taking continues to college so I don’t get a break, but that doesn’t bother me really. I’m going to try and get into a good university back in my home-state Michigan after I finish high school and college abroad.
This is incredible, but also going to be very difficult journey for him to navigate being so young in comparison to his peers. Really heart warming to seeing a story like, and see POC painted in an aspirational light for once in the media.
Great Parents. Good luck Young man. You will make the future bright. We need more kids like this. Education Opens to Opportunity. Good Luck on your future.
How wonderful!!! Prayers he goes on to cure cancer or something equally astounding!!! Love news like this! Imagine what would happen if all news story were focused on the good going on!
Congratulations to your academic achievement I am proud of you graduating from high school, and offered myriads of scholarships is a great accomplishment keep up the good work!
It's nice that you talk to him.but really what the deal is it was in the young man to do this from the beginning and I'm so proud of him and I'm so happy for you.
This is wonderful! Ik this young man is truly proud of himself & his accomplishments as is his parents! 💯 tears of joy drop from my eye's....CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 & Continue to prosper!!!! 💯😁

@L White ?? no he's just explaining his own point of view on a life like this and even complimented the kid
Thanks for sharing. How old are you now? Would you mind leaving some tips on what could've made the transition easier for you?
He’s a child prodigy! Him and his brother! He’s gonna go far in life. Bless him and his beautiful family that raised him so well. ✨💗
This is amazing! Best wishes to this young man. His future is very bright!
That little guy is going to go places in life and it's nice to hear some good news for once
Let's pray that the lefties don't try and brainwash him
I'm sorry I just worry about how kids can become indoctrinated by the views of others, the ones that mean harm, coz it happens and I do worry

Shut up

He’s 14 he was accepted to 16 or 17 schools.
He is 16.
