A 12-year-old Indian-American prodigy boy hopes to become a doctor by the time he turns 18. Tanishq Abraham, a native of Sacramento in California became the youngest ever to graduate from an American college. He was congratulated by President Barack Obama for his achievements.

Abraham has been accepted to University of California (UC) Davis and also received a Regents scholarship to UC Santa Cruz.

"I think I'll be 18 when I get my MD," he said. Abraham treats himself just an ordinary kid who plays with video games and just likes to learn.  He will be a  junior transfer student when he gets admission into either UC Santa Cruz or  UC Davis.

He was graduated at the age of 11 year from American River College in Sacramento with three associate degrees in maths, science and foreign language studies.  He said that he wished to become the President of the United States.

Abraham joined MENSA, the prominent high IQ society, when he was only four-years-old. He said some of the students at the college "were intimidated" by him but a lot of others "were really happy" to have a kid in their classes.
