SACRAMENTO, Ca. (WPVI) -- An 11-year-old boy just earned three associates degrees at American River College in Sacramento, California.

Tanishq Abraham's college experience took place over one year after he completed the state's early exit high school exam at the age of 10.

Tanishq graduated with a 4.0 GPA.

His parents knew early on that the pint-size prodigy was destined for big things.

Now he wants to get his M.D. and become a doctor.

But, he also says he wants to become a medical researcher, and the president of the United States.

His younger sister Tiara also has her own gift.

At age 9, she is also taking courses at American River College.
