The Florida teen earned his Bachelor’s degree in molecular biology with a 3.9 GPA.

The Miramar resident enrolled at FAU when he was just 14. Â He now plans to attend graduate school.
“In a couple years, hopefully I’ll be on my way to getting a Ph.D., so that would be such a tremendous blessing,” Martin said. “Then another eight years, I’ll be a professor somewhere.”
