Last Friday, an 11-year-old boy went onstage to receive his associate degree in arts from St. Petersburg College, Florida, says CNN.
“I am completely fascinated by William and the work he has done,” said Dr. Tonyua Williams, president of St. Petersburg College, a member of CNN Bay News 9. “He is incredibly brilliant, very open and collaborative.”

William began college in 2016 after graduating at the age of nine. The boy's parents admit that he was always in a hurry to learn. In just two years, this boy solved simple mathematical examples, and at four he already studied algebra.
“Everyone has gifts from God. I got knowledge, science and history,” the 11-year-old valedictorian told WFTS.

What's next? He plans to continue his education and will begin studying at the University of South Florida next month. The boy said that he wanted to be an astrophysicist and "prove to the world that God exists in science."

William's goal is to earn a doctorate by age 18, the age when most people are just starting college.
