    That is impressive; I love to see more kids like him. It is interesting about his college studies at Harvard Extension School. I thought the minimum age to attend HES is 15 years old.

    I am working on my son and daughter to challenge the Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) for credits at 11 and 12 years old. Then they transfer to the University of Florida for an online degree in Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Cell Science. Hope they will graduate at 14 and continue for medical school.

    I don't know, man. I'm all for making sure kids have a head start, that's why my 14 year old is doing Study.com. But I'm doing that so that when he develops goals he'll have a head start towards reaching them, not to try to set his goals for him.

    Well, I have to modify for the next several years to see their interests and abilities. Of course, in the end, I cannot expect them to be Medical Doctors when they have no interest in Biological science. However, I would not encourage them with low paying job college majors.

    When I grew up, I wish my mother taught, coached, and guided me. I cannot blame her as she only completed 3rd grade. I did not start school until I was twelve and a half years old when my family immigrated to the United States under the political asylum.
