Teen Prodigy with 3 Degrees Going for 2 Doctorates

Raymond Walter teen prodigy

Teen Raymond Walter doesn't expect to live long because he has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disease that causes muscles to waste away. That's why, he said, that he's been on an accelerated course to accomplish as much as he can with his life. Starting with graduating from college with 3 degrees at 18 years of age:

"I don't anticipate living as long as usual," Raymond said. "In some respects, there is a lot of pressure to get as much done as I can. I don't waste time. I skipped three years of grade school and to some extent I've continued my acceleration since I reached the university level. I finished my undergraduate economics course work in my freshman year. So as a sophomore I began to take graduate courses."

Raymond is continuing his studies by pursuing two separate doctoral degrees in math and physics. Simultaneously, of course.

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
 
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
 
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
 
It's not what is poured into a student, but what is planted.
 
The real measure of our wealth is how much we'd be worth if we lost all our money.
