Tanishq Abraham is not your typical 8-year-old.

When he was 4 1/2, he was accepted into Mensa as one of their younger members. By 7, he was already a published writer, crafting essays about astronomy for NASA’s Lunar Science website. And for the sake of efficiency, at that same year, the little boy decided to start college at the American River College as well.

Despite his above average intelligence, Tanishq is ultimately still a child. He loves soccer, gymnastics, and playing the piano with his little sister (who is also a Mensa member).
