A 13-year-old boy became the youngest student to ever graduate from California’s Fullerton College, according to a new report.

Jack Rico, who began his studies at the public community college at the tender age of 11, completed four associates degrees in only two years, KABC reported.

Now, he’s headed to the University of Nevada on a full scholarship, according to the report.

He would like to pursue a bachelor’s degree in history, but is taking things step by step.

“I’m 13, so I don’t want to rush everything,” he told the station. “I’m still trying to figure it out, but I just want to focus on learning right now. That’s what I love to do.”

Because traditional graduation ceremonies are not permitted during the coronavirus crisis, a special drive-thru celebration has been planned for Jack Tuesday in the city of La Mirada.

When Jack isn’t hitting the books, he enjoys playing video games, he told the outlet.
