Meet an 11-year-old boy who has graduated with three associate degrees in maths, science and foreign language studies from American River College in Sacramento, California.

Tanishq Abraham is believed be the smartest child in the world, who has already managed to secure three University degrees at the age of 11. The boy showed signs of a high IQ at an early age. His mother, Taji Abraham, gave up her work as a veterinarian and started home-schooling Tanishq and his sister after both felt “bored” in their classes

At six, he took online high school and college level classes in subjects such as chemistry, paleontology, biology, and geology. The boy finished high school last year and was the youngest student ever to enroll in on-campus graded courses at the college. His friends are mostly middle aged, college classmates, with whom he is on the same wavelength.

“I like to learn. The way my brain works is that when you give me something, information about that topic comes into my mind. I don't know what it is. So I just followed my passion of learning, and that's how I ended up here.”

Asked about relationship with his classmates, Tanishq answered: “Some of them are intimidated. Others are really glad I'm in their class.” Speaking about the difficulty of taking college courses the prodigy said: “It's not really too hard for me,” adding that one day he hopes to become a doctor or President of the United States.
