I’ve taken a couple of classes at Fullerton College, which is about three miles from where I live.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Well, two out of three FReepers got my joke.

I'll take it. :)

[Honest Nigerian]

Five Associates Degrees. Well, congratulations.
BUT that is likely less content than what was typically mastered by someone who graduated 8th grade in 1910.
Still, this graduate needs to stay away from the woke crowd. They would try to kill him, or tell him that he is a girl.
Or both.

He doesn’t have the politically correct skin pigmentation to be accepted into any Ivy League University.

The kid should go into medicine or engineering. Too much talent to not utilize. It’s those people who will be pulling the cart on behalf of the rest of us. His parents should Neve have to worry about tuition bills but what do I know?

What if the kid doesn’t want to? Fine by me. My brilliant grand-nephew needs to get specialized schooling. Hanging around ‘normal’ average kids will make him behave in a way to fit in. Plenty of time for that afterwards. He’s a bit autistic too. Socially funny. He could save the world or destroy it. You’ll see , not me. I’ll be gone.

No. Mom is Chinese. They are that way. That is why they do so well in school ha they are universities limit their numbers. They show up their “minority” students.

[Veto!]

LOL, majorly Hung.

Wonderful kid, will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

When I was 12-years-old, I was busy watching re-runs of Gilligan’s Island.

Next year.

It’s better than Vagilene or some made up pseudo-ethnic name.

[waterhill]

I only have 2. And a few cerficates. I was way beyond 12 when I got them. Wow.

Good job kiddo!

[ro_dreaming]

Yeah, I mean, 5 AA’s in 3 years for a 9-12 year old. It’s not like he was distracted by women or booze.

/Sarc tag needed?

[Pikachu_Dad]

not buying it!

[dowcaet]

Maybe there is some hope for our nation’s future.

Part of what makes childhood precious and joyous would be having fun and trying things out at your leisure. Seems like he is not allowed much downtime with Sargeant Mom looking at her stopwatch all the time.

But this is also why the ultimate overachievers are almost always Asians, because they don't see childhood as "having fun and trying things out," but working as hard as jigoku to get to the top of whatever it is you are aiming for, as fast as possible, before someone else gets there.

AAs

What a rip.

Forgot the co pilot bang ding ow

[plain talk]

That’s incredible and wish him well.

[Third Person]

the youngest to graduate or the youngest to graduate with five degrees?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I would say in your case, it probably is.
