The cognitive dissonance of seeing a 14-year-old college student while you're still trying to figure out how to adult at 30 is the ultimate reality check. Hey, at least I eventually learned my multiplication tables... right?

When an 11-year-old casually infiltrates your organic chemistry class and offers email support, you know you're dealing with the next Feynman. Meanwhile, the rest of us still struggle to remember if benzene rings are hexagons or pentagons after four years of college. This kid probably synthesizes his own lunch while the professor is still trying to get the projector working. Nothing humbles you quite like being intellectually outpaced by someone whose voice hasn't even dropped yet.
