California 11-year-old graduates college with three degrees
Published in Weird News
SACRAMENTO (UPI) -- An 11-year-old California boy graduated community college with three associate degrees only one year after he graduated from high school.
Tanishq Abraham, 11, of Sacramento, made national headlines and received a congratulatory letter from President Barack Obama when he graduated high school last year and walked across the stage Wednesday at American River College in Sacramento to accept associate degrees in math, science and foreign language studies.
"I like to learn," Abraham, who graduated with a 4.0 GPA, told KTXL-TV. So I just followed my passion of learning, and that's how I ended up here.
The graduate posted on Twitter Wednesday that the degrees were only the first part of his larger goals.

Abraham said the next step in his plan is pursuing a bachelor's degree.
