A 16-year-old California student will be one of the youngest people to ever graduate from UCLA, according to a report.
Sixteen-year-old Emily Beznos is scheduled to graduate summa cum laude in June, making her the youngest person to receive a UCLA diploma this year, KTLAKTLA noted that Emily has been competing as a gymnast since the age of four. She says there is some overlap between the qualities that have made her successful as an athlete and those that have helped her thrive as a student, namely discipline and time management skills.
Discussing her incredible track record of achievement with KTLA, she explained she has grown accustomed to being younger than most of her peers. “She actually took charge of some of the group work,” her father recalled, per KTLA. “She was leading the groups and the projects with other students who were older than her.”
For all she has achieved so far, it is clear Emily has extraordinary things ahead of her in the years to come.
