Very few people can get a college deGREe before 11，but Michael was an exception．He started high school when he was 5，finishing in just nine months．He became the world's youngest college graduate when he was 10 years and 4 months old，earning an architecture degree．Now at 11 Michael's working on a master's degree in artificial intelligence．

But Michael's success hasn't always come easy， despite his intelligence．He still lacks important life experiences．

In one class，he had to struggle to understand romantic novels，because，he says，“I'm 11．I've never been in love before．”

Another challenge was his size．High school physical education was difficult，because all of the equipment was too big for the then five-year-old student．

He likes computers so much thatin graduate school he's studying how to make them think like people．

He wants to make robots do all the heavy tasks．

Michael is smart，but he is like every other kid．
