12 year old boy genius attends FIU as a Freshman


Sky Choi, a 12 year old from Pembroke Pines, is a sixth grader who is also attending Florida International University. Choi is doing dual enrollment and taking classes such as Physics, Calculus, and Intermediate Conversations. It's incredible for a teenager to be able to handle such a hectic schedule. Choi told CBS4 when asked if he had any friends, " Most of my friends are at FIU." Sky Choi entered high school at the age of 9 and will be graduating in May. Today, Thursday April 9, Choi has his Chinese conversation classes with several other students that are all older than him. But for Choi it doesn't seem so difficult. At the tender age of three, Choi was speaking and reading both English and Korean. Now, Choi can add Latin and Chinese to his list of languages." You can ask, I'm quite strict with my standards, and I do not let anyone off the hook" said his Chinese Professor, Li Ma, who acknowledges that Choi is just a kid but knows what he is capable of. The boy genius at FIU has scored a 99% of the population on the IQ and Achievement tests. Sky Choi has a thirst for knowledge that is unstoppable and at this rate, he can only excel to greater things. When he grows up Choi would like to be a Physician or Teacher.

It is interesting to see that there is such an intellegent child attending a Univeristy such as FIU, what a honor.
