  Now, 13-year-old Gregory Robert Smith is about to add another line to his resume: College graduate.
  
  Greg will receive his bachelor's degree in mathematics May 31 from Randolph-Macon College, a private Methodist school 15 miles north of Richmond.Greg, who was elected Phi Beta Kappa, is graduating cum laude.
  
  He has not yet said where he will attend graduate school.He plans to earn PhDs in math, aerospace engineering, political science and biomedical engineering, and pursue multiple careers while continuing to champion nonviolence and children's rights.
  
  Among his goals is to become president of the United States.
  
  "It would give me the opportunity to help so many people," Greg said in an interview in the campus office where Janet Smith spends her days managing her son's always-packed daily schedule.
  ...
  Greg could have entered a larger and more well-known college.
  ...
  Greg has charted a course that makes him happy, and that includes not only advanced learning but also playing sports with children his own age.
  
  "I feel I've lived the life of a normal child," Greg said."I've just been given so many incredible opportunities."
  
  Among those opportunities was attending Randolph-Macon on full scholarship.However, much of his energy has been spent working with the Richmond-based Christian Children's Fund and traveling as the founder of International Youth Advocates, which champions nonviolence and human rights.
  
  He visited Kenya, where he was a guest at the signing of a peace treaty between warring tribes, and witnessed the despair of crack-addicted children in the slums of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
  ...
  Greg earns money on the speaking circuit to support his philanthropic work.He writes his own speeches, which he delivers with the polish of a veteran campaigner.
  
  "When I was very young," Greg says in one videotaped speech, drawing laughter from the crowd of about 11,000.He waits for silence and begins again: "When I was very young and witnessed the video accounts of children suffering from disease or malnutrition, separated from their families or subjected to violence, I knew I had to act.I was just 7 years old then, but I was certain that there must be a way that I could make a difference."
  
  Greg continues to advocate for children and peace, which he said go hand-in-hand.
  
  "The first step to peace is education.That's one reason I'm working so hard," Greg said.
  
  Greg's lessons outside the classroom included what Wessells called "an encounter with the school of hard knocks" at the United Nations' first children's summit last May.He was a delegate to the fractious meeting, which ended with approval of a compromise children's rights document that pleased virtually no one."I saw firsthand how countries that didn't want to deal with these issues sabotaged the document," he said.

  Following Dr. Goodwin's essay, we hear the first-person account of teenage genius Gregory Smith.
  ...
  With an IQ in the top one-fourth of one percent in the world, Smith has been on the educational "fast track" most of his life.He went to high school at age seven; now, at fourteen, Smith is working on a PhD in mathematics at the University of Virginia.In this account, Smith shares his fascination with higher mathematics, what it's like to be a teenage scholar in a world dominated by adults, his ambitions to earn four PhD's and become president of the United States, and his love for NASCAR racing.Throughout all, Smith insists he's not that different from most other fourteen year olds.

  Gregory Smith, 13
  ...
  Gregory Smith is one of the world's brightest and most passionate advocates of World Peace.
  ...
  Smith is the founder of International Youth Advocates (IYA), whose mission is to empower, recruit and unite the children of the world, demanding an end to violence (especially the capitalization of violence), universal education for young people, and wise stewardship of the environment.
  
  In Rwanda, Smith and IYA have been working to build the nation's first public library.Working with the Children at Risk Foundation, Smith traveled to Sao Paulo, Brazil to help children get out of the slums and into child day care and school programs, including vocational training and sports.
  
  In Mississippi, Smith and IYA are working to provide schools with supplies and books and to create day care centers for children.Smith is in demand as a public speaker, charming audiences wherever he goes.Smith stresses to everyone the importance of leading a moral life and caring for children who he says are each nation's most precious asset.
  
  Smith plans to do even more when he finishes school.He received his B.S. degree cum laude in May 2003 at the age of 13.His goal is to obtain three Ph.D.s by the time he is 27.One will be in biomedical research so he can help cure diseases such as breast cancer, which temporarily affected his mother, Janet.A second will be in aerospace engineering so that he can build space stations and help NASA learn how to mine asteroids.His third degree will be in political science which he believes will prepare him to be President of the United States.
  
  Those who know him have little doubt that he has the capacity to accomplish all of these goals.After all, he learned to walk at seven months, could recite the alphabet by his first birthday, and could read at the age of two, at which time he concluded that humans were herbivores because of their flat teeth, and decided that he and his family should be vegetarians.
  
  Although he is in graduate school, Smith is in other respects, a normal child.He has friends his own age.He likes to watch Bugs Bunny and to play sports such as basketball, tennis, football and soccer.He likes rock music, but confesses to love the classics more, especially Mozart.His favorite author is Jules Verne, although Dickens, Shakespeare and Plato are not far behind.
  
  Other than is parents, his heroic role models include Dr. Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi.Like them, he is unique and his intellect and sense of compassion are hyperdeveloped.Through it all, Greg has remained modest but honest.
