Two years later, he transferred to Santa Clara University to study computer science and engineering and recently became the school's youngest-ever graduate.
"It really feels natural, like I'm with people that I can completely be myself around. I don't have to censor my speech or conversations. I'm also very active on campus, and I'm lucky to be embraced by a lot of very close friends, which does include a few professors," he said Thursday.
