Mike made it known that after the lockdown was effected, he knew he had much time on his hands, and his love for academics drove him to keep studying for his high school education.

The little boy's parents, Mark and Melissa, always knew their son had an exceptional learning ability, and they found out when he was about to be enrolled in preschool.

Mike was taken to the doctor for a medical examination. This was a required process so his parents could find out if he had any learning disability. However, the doctor surprised them by noting that Mike's IQ number exceeded his calculations.
