My siblings in Satan, please don’t give in to despair. This youngster has had a lot of support from his teachers, parents, community etc which has allowed him to achieve at this level. He worked hard and accomplished something amazing which deserves to be celebrated. But guess what? You have your own journey in life and maybe you don’t have the same level of resources he has, and that’s okay, you can still do and accomplish amazing things. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday and take it one step at a time. You’ve got this ✨🤗

The cousin your parents compare you to:

Props to him!
Clovis will graduate with associate of arts degrees in history, social sciences, social behavior and self-development, arts and human expression, and science and mathematics.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, well, good luck getting a job with those degrees.

He can do “science”!

I get that sometimes you get these unimaginably intelligent child prodigies, but how is it possible to do five degrees at once? Does “degree” mean something different in America? Did he not have to attend 30 hours of lectures every day? Is this a real university?
RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s an associate’s and not a bachelor’s is what everyone is missing. He crammed 5 2-year degrees into 3 years, not an impossible 5 4-year degrees into 3 years. Especially maxed out at 11 credits a semester
jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world 11 months ago
These are AA degrees, which are 2 yr. degrees of general education of said subject.
To my knowledge it may be that classea were able to ‘double’ count for multiple degrees.
This is a real college:
Fullerton College is a public community college in Fullerton, California
Someone else earned four degrees before Clovis, his name is Jack Rico.
Clovis was just nine years old when he enrolled at Fullerton College after being inspired by another young Hornet graduate in 2020, Jack Rico, who at the time earned four degrees at Fullerton College at the age of 13. Clovis said he wanted to do the same thing. Now, he is surpassing that record and is set to earn five Associate of Arts degrees in History, Social Sciences, Social Behavior and Self-Development, Arts and Human Expression, and Science and Mathematics.

He carries all his books in the bags under his eyes.

Good job! 🤯 😀 👍

I have crippling debt before i was 13! She would be the worst to work with. 5 degrees and the life experience expose as a zoo animal. She will have to wait to be 18 before she can get any real job, and she’ll probably forget everything by then.

What is up with Fullerton College? The university I went to it would be impossible to graduate with more than 1 degree in 3 years, and Fullerton is giving a kid 5 degrees for 3 years at college?

When you’re a wunderkind, exceptions are made.
Tavarin@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
It says he maxed out at 11 credits. It doesn’t matter what kind of wunderkind you are, at my uni you would still only get 1.5 degrees in 3 years at that rate. No exceptions. This honestly sounds like a PR stunt by Fullerton, and not the kid actually earning 5 degrees.
