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 youngster figured he still had enough time on his hands, so he decided to enroll for extra classes at the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. He focused on college work during the spring semester.

Mike shared that he had always been an advanced student. He recalled going to summer camp, and his teachers were amazed by his ability to do multiplication.

While the young boy relayed that he enjoyed studying, he noted that the challenge with getting higher education at his age was how many thought some curricula were too rigorous for him.

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.

However, he clarified that he loved playing games and enjoyed activities as much as he loved studying. His parents also attested that the tween was an "all-round kid."
