11-Year-Old Graduating With 3 Degrees From American River College

SACRAMENTO (CBS SF) -- An 11-year-old boy receiving three degrees became the youngest graduate at American River College this year, by far.

Tanishq Abraham graduated from high school at age 10, and now has his sights set on a medical degree.  He told KCRA he wasn't intimidated by taking classes with students twice his age.

"Even on the first time I came to a college class, I wasn't really nervous, so, this isn't much of a big thing to me," Abraham said.

"Even in kindergarten he was pretty ahead, two years ahead, and just went from there," she said.

Tanishq posted a picture of the family celebrating his graduation to Twitter.
