11-year-old child Tanishq Abraham is in the news for graduating from college with three different degrees.The talented kid from California made headlines last year as well,for completing high school at the age of ten.
Last week's graduation ceremony was attended by Tanishq's parents-his mother Taji,a doctor,and his father Bijou,a software engineer.They cheered for Tanishq as he was awarded associate degrees in math and physical sciences,general science,and language studies.He wore a rainbow colored scarf that his grandmother had made specially for the occasion.
"The assumption is that he's the all-time youngest,"said college spokesman Scott Crow."But we don't have all the records to completely confirm.He was beyond doubt the youngest this year."
Tanishq said that he wasn't frightened by the fact that his classmates were all twice his age,especially because he was well-received."A lot were really happy that there was a kid in their class,"he said.And his parents were pretty low-key about the whole affair,being used to all his accomplishments since a young age."Even in kindergarten,he was a few years ahead."Taji said."It just went from there."
Interestingly,Tanishq has been home-schooled by his motjye.air.He's also been taking classes at the American River College since he was seven years old.
You'd probably think that Tanishq is done with books for his life,but he actually has no plans to stop learning."I want to become a doctor,"he said after the ceremony."But I also want to become a medical researcher,and also the president of the United States."In a tweet,he showed that he hopes to win the Nobel Prize some day in medicine or research.In the meantime,he plans to spend his summer on a family vacation and a Calculus II course.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
