9-year-old prodigy graduates from Pennsylvania online high school
David Balogun looks like your average happy-go-lucky child. He plays baseball, does karate, and enjoys activities with his parents and sister.
But, what separates David from other kids his age is that he graduated high school at just nine years old!
“I realized that I [was] able to graduate at the age of ten or nine as long as I put the effort in, and with the help of my mom, dad and, of course, Reach Cyber Charter School I was able to graduate," David told FOX43.
He is now the youngest student ever to graduate from Reach Cyber Charter, based in Harrisburg after entering the program in third grade.

@@billbonu1639 privilege isn't the only difference, perseverance is. 99% of kids would probably never work as hard as him even if they had all the opportunities in the world. Even if he is super privileged, that doesn't undermine his intelligence and exceptional achievement at such a young age.

Please tell us all how you think God is going to protect this one child, and what do, ignor all the other children that need protection from the evils on this earth? Then again maybe you think that God only answeres your prayers because your're a "Christian." I couldn't disagree more that this is a good time to be alive; not when America is about to enter a bloody Christian Crusade against the Constitution and liberals.

If little David committed a crime or was shot by law enforcement this video would have millions of views. But unfortunately, positivity isn’t celebrated. Congratulations to David and his parents. I hope he can help change the world for the better ❤
Such a blessed child
Damn even how this kid talks with the words he uses, is up there 👍
Awesome, Keep David Safe By Any Means Necessary ❤️💯

I don't like it ...I don't like it! The young man sounds like a robot and seems awkward socially. My daughter is 9 in the 3rd grade....he stated he began his journey in the 3rd grade, so how old was he then?
