Oklahoma teen graduated from college with four diplomas.
At 13 years old, Elijah Muhammad is the youngest African American to graduate college with a degree in computer science and cybersecurity, according to his family.
He told KOCO,
“At first, I didn’t really understand the full impact of it until my dad fully explained it and was like, ‘You’re really doing this, you’re the youngest to ever do it,’”
Elijah continues,
“I have 10 IBM certifications, one Google IT certification and four diplomas from Oklahoma City Community College,”
“As many accomplishments as I have, I still go swimming, go outside, play basketball and still have fun,”
Elijah’s older sister Shania, graduated with her bachelor's degree in family consumer sciences from Langston University and is now the historically Black college's youngest bachelor's graduate on record at the age of 15.
Their mother, Atashia Muhammad, is an assistant professor at Langston.
