"I thought it would be really smart to get my associates degree while in high school," Eli said. "I could get to a job or my bachelor's degree a little sooner and it's a little cheaper. I was also allowed to continue to play sports. It was a win/win situation for me." While he might miss weight lifting and hanging out with his friends, he's added to them, having...
