A brilliant boy identifying as Elliot was homeschooled by his parents. His mother narrated that he learned and consumed information quicker than they could handle.
By the age of 9, they could not keep up with the rate of his progress.
So they enrolled him at his local community college.
“As parents, we were terrified. But he excelled, and the school administration and other states.
It was the community college that forged his passion for physics.
Elliot said he had always wanted to be a mathematician but when he was introduced to physics, he became really intrigued and inspired to learn more about the secrets of the world.
Elliott transferred to the University of Minnesota at the age of 11 to start studying physics and math.
Although his college experience is a little different from that of his classmates being a lot younger than many of his colleagues, Elliott still hangs out with his peers in the student lounge, discussing homework, debating physics topics or watching movies.
After two years of study at the University, Elliot graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics.
He was thereafter accepted into the University of Minnesota’s physics doctoral program and is due to start his doctorate in the next academic year.
The young genius says he wishes to be a professor at the University of Minnesota, United States and become an expert in high-energy theoretical physics.
“I can’t wait to get started,” he said.
Following his incredible feat, Elliot was awarded a congressional record by the Minnesota Representative, Ilhan Omar.
Sharing pictures of the recognition on his Instagram, Elliot said his family celebrates this honour.
“While our family celebrates this honor, our hearts go out to the families and community at Robb Elementary in Texas. Our hearts are broken,” he said.
