    I found this pretty relatable graduating from high school at 16 and getting my bachelors this summer at 20. Its DEFINITELY not a route I recommend for everyone as you'll be leaving your friends behind and entering an enviroment where you're expected to act like a responsible adult. The kid in the video seems to be pretty mature and had solid goals like getting a PHD so I have no doubt he'll suceed.

    Every day now... there's another one! And to think it wasn't that long ago that it was against a fool's law for a black child to even read. Now we understand why! And he is just one of so many who are being revealed as the jewels of The Most High, which He is allowing the world to see and understand that His children although still in their captive state, when everything's made to work against them, His power and His will for His true children cannot be stopped once they have realized who they are and returned to Him! Bible prophecy being fulfilled daily before our eyes and in the midst of our enemies! Halleluyah!
