A 10-year-old from San Bernardino, Calif., is a month away from graduating with two associate degrees from Crafton Hills College.

She will be the youngest to ever graduate from the Yucaipa-based community college, according to Inland Empire Community News.

Her final GPA will be “close” to a 4.0.

Alisa Perales began taking classes when she was only 8 years old and will have just turned 11 at the time of the graduation ceremony.  

Alisa expressed her enjoyment for learning, mentioning that it is almost as enjoyable as playing outside or riding a bike. She finds it very fun and is fascinated by the many interesting things in the world.

Perales, who has a home-schooling background, credited her dad for pushing her to do her best in school and work hard.

A post on the Inland Empire Community News Facebook page boasts that she once used her political science coursework to file a federal lawsuit challenging youth voting rights.

She would have earned two additional degrees in computer science and physics had she stayed one more semester. 

“When I first started at Crafton (at the age of 8), I was a little bit nervous…because this was my first time going to a public school,” said Alisa, “but then I met some really nice people, and that was super helpful.”

The young prodigy isn’t done yet.

She has plans to work in the artificial intelligence tech industry.
