TAMPA (FOX 13) - Hillsborough Community College's largest graduating class has a special student who's celebrating a big achievement.
Saef Mohamed is the 14 years old and just graduated from HCC with an associate's degree in arts. degree.
"In the beginning, that wasn't the end goal," Saef said. "It was my mom's philosophy, which she instilled in us."
He's certainly not the age to graduate from college, but also younger than most graduating from high school. However, Saef is walking across the stage to get his Blake High School diploma this month, too.
"I always worked to challenge myself, and work hard, and not really have any free time," Saef added. "Just challenge yourself. If you find yourself sitting around with time to waste, don't waste your time."
Saef's advice to other teens:
"Never, really think that you're as good as you can get because you can always get better," he said.
Saef will be going to USF this fall. He wants to become a lawyer.
