10-Year-Old Boy-Genius is One of the Youngest High School Graduates EverSacramento, CA's Tanishq Abraham joined Mensa at age four and expects to graduate from college by 12 or 13.

Like many 10-year-olds, Tanishq Abraham harbors dreams of one day becoming president of the United States (and a scientist and a doctor and curing cancer). Unlike his peers, however, Abraham just received a personalized letter from the White House congratulating him on a rather singular achievement: he is one of the youngest people in the world to graduate from high school.

Abraham, who was admitted to the high-IQ society Mensa at age four, celebrated the accomplishment bedecked in a cap and gown at a special ceremony last weekend thrown by his parents and attended by roughly 200 friends and family members.

"The way my brain works is that when you give me something, information about that topiccomes into my mind," the Sacramento, CA resident told theAP. "I don't know what it is, but that's how it is for me."

In aspeechat the ceremony, Abraham said "it's been a rough and bumpy ride, but I reached my destination early." He thanked his parents for their unfailing support. "My mom recognized my intellectual talent when I was only a few months old," he said. "I'm extremely humbled by those who have been inspired by me," Abraham concluded, whereupon his 8-year-old sister, Tiara -- who is also a Mensa member -- honored him by singing amedleyofSomewhere Over the RainbowandWhat a Wonderful World.

Abraham, who was home-schooled, graduated from high school with -- you guessed it -- a 4.0 average, and has been taking classes at a local Sacramento community college since March. He expects to graduate from a four-year universityby 12 or 13, according to theTodayshow.
