An 11-year-old boy graduated with three Associates Degrees Thursday. 

Tanishq Abraham, from the Sacramento area, is a self-described child prodigy, claiming on his Facebook page that, "From 7 yrs old,[he] had started on-campus college classes, given talks/lectures at college and professional groups and written several articles for astronomical society."

Abraham graduated from American River College with a 4.0 GPA, a perfect grade, according to CBS KPIX5. He graduated high school only last year as well, completing three degrees worth of work in a single year.

When asked if he was intimidated by the college work or atmosphere Abraham said that, "Even on the first time I came to a college class, I wasn’t really nervous, so, [graduating] isn’t much of a big thing to me."

He says that he wants to become a medical doctor, a Nobel prize winner, and president of the United States when he grows up.

Abraham's younger sister, Tiara, is described as a child prodigy as well, so the parents are raising both children to learn and develop into scholars and young professionals.
