And, in September he’ll be back on campus to start his doctorate in physics.

Elliott’s parents noticed his ability when he was already reading and doing math at 3 years old.

Still, Elliot’s mother Michelle makes sure that he still enjoys his childhood.

During his Ph.D., Elliott will be focusing his studies on high-energy theoretical physics.

Unfortunately, his family has run into a common stumbling blockhow to pay for the program.

Eventually, he hopes to become a professor of physics for do just that.

For now, he’ll soon be celebrating graduation and getting prepared for what the future holds.
