There's no need to tell 12-year-old Tanishq Abraham to dream big as he already has his eyes set on becoming a doctor and eventually the president of the United States. Why not? With three associate degrees he earned at 12 years old, he may just have the qualities and the intellectual capacity to run the U.S. government.
Entering College At Twelve
Tanishq Abraham is undeniably a child prodigy with an IQ that would make a lot of people envious. When other 12-year-olds are preparing for high school, Abraham is already preparing to get his bachelor's degree from the University of California, said The Week.

Abraham has already been accepted two UC's - Santa Cruz and Davis. He wants to study bio-engineering and he is very excited to work on his bachelor's degree. During an NBC News interview, he said that he has been waiting for this moment for quite some time.
MENSA At Four
There's no question whether at such a young age, Abraham will be able to hack it at UC. According to reports, he was already a member of MENSA at the age of four. MENSA is the International high IQ society, where only the superbly intelligent can join.
It must run in the genes of Abraham though. His sister, 10-year-old Tiara is also a member of MENSA. In addition to this, Abraham got his high school diploma at age 10, a far cry from the normal age that students graduate from high school. His age also did not deter him from graduating at the top of his class.
Three Associate Degrees At Eleven
It was in American River College that he got his three associate degrees at age 11. This made Abraham the youngest-ever graduate of the community college.
Bijou Abraham, father of Tanishq Abraham, said that the young prodigy has his life planned out. According to his father, he will start as a doctor, then become a medical researcher, and he will eventually become the president of the United States. His father believes that he will be able to achieve anything if he puts his mind to it.
