9-Year-Old Aspiring Astrophysicist Graduates From High School And Heads To College​

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is home to a 9-year-old who has already completed high school and enrolled in college. The post 9-Year-Old Aspiring Astrophysicist Graduates From High School And Heads To College appeared first on Blavity. David Balogun tested out of elementary and middle school shortly after enrolling at the Reach Cyber Charter School in Harrisburg and began his high school studies.


Although going early to college was not young David’s original plan, he changed his mind after realizing it was possible. He told WHTM / ABC 27 he started high school right after finishing eighth grade in two and a half months. The young, bright child claimed that studying online accelerated his progress.



“When he heard the word ‘S.T.E.M’ program, at seven years old, he was jumping up and down. I said ‘OK, this is where we’re going, this is what we’re doing.’ He loved it from the first moment. It’s been an amazing journey,” his proud mother, Ronya Balogun, said.


“At the beginning, I just wanted to graduate early,” David explained. “And then after third grade, the teacher said that I should go to fourth grade … so at that point, I decided I want to graduate at the age of 10. And my mom said, if you put the effort in, we will advocate for you and you probably will be able to graduate at the age of nine. So I decided, OK, I’ll graduate at the age of nine.”


David started an accelerated program, studied all year and covered various topics. He has expressed an interest in pursuing a career in astronomy, engineering or software development; he also noted that mathematics and science, particularly nuclear chemistry, are among his favorites.
David asserts that he enjoys building robots and watching scientific documentaries online when he isn’t studying.

Really? Most of the stories I read of people who achieve success early in life like this child end up doing well. In fact, they work for major institutions/companies now doing research

If I had a child that smart, I would most definitely not allow articles to be published about him. A parent can be proud of their child's achievements without doing this and drawing so many negative envious people's attention.

He’ll probably end up doing well of course he’s not gonna be a failure. Just the pure hype of being a child prodigy is enough to open doors for you and get you great opportunities. But I’m just cringing at the chosen field.
