SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — While most 10-year-olds are mastering long division or playing neighborhood games, Mikita Li is performing at Carnegie Hall and composing her own piano pieces.

For other children her age with big dreams, Mikita offers encouraging advice: "If you want to accomplish something of this, then you definitely can, as long as you try your best and put your all into it."
