9-Year-Old Prodigy Working On College Degree

[IndoCarib]

At 9-years-old Tanishq Abraham is already working on earning his college degree, was inducted into genius society Mensa at the age of 4, and scores in the 99.9 percentile on a standardized intelligence test.

The youngest student to be accepted at American River College in Sacramento, California at the age of 8, Tanishq spends his days among students more than twice his age - whom he also occasionally lectures.

'I like particle physics and contemplating the fate of the universe,' the boy genius recently told the Digital Journal.

Precocious being an obvious description for him – while his acute intelligence was first recognized by his mother at the age of 2-1/2 - Tanishq keeps his parents busy trying to keep up. His father, Bijou Abraham, is a software engineer, and his mother Dr. Taji Abraham, a doctor of veterinary medicine.

I think the main thing people always forget is that this kid might be a genius, but emotionally and maturity wise he is still a nine year old. I'm not sure I support having a child so young go so quickly through school. There is a lot more to schooling than books.
