University of Chicago Prodigy

Sho Yano

While most of us are attending elementary or primary school at the age of 9, Shao Yano was attending his first years of college.  The young man, now 21 years old, will become the University of Chicago's youngest M.D. graduate. 

According to reports, "Sho Yano will graduate this week from the Pritzker School of Medicine, where he also received a Ph.D. in molecular genetics and cell biology. Yano graduated with honors from Loyola University after just three years before starting medical school at age 12. The Chicago Tribune reports that some schools didn't admit Yano because of concerns that such rigorous training could interfere with his adolescent development."

 Sometimes we all need a challenge and Sho Yano certainly is proof that the only obstacles in life are the one's we do not try to overcome.  Wishing the class of 2012 of the University of Chicago and students everywhere a very heartfelt congratulations.
