Most 16-year-olds spend their weekend at the movies or hanging out with friends, but Raja Krishnaswamy was graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree.<\/p>\n
“I am proud of myself. I mean, it’s not every 16-year-old that graduates with a bachelor’s degree in computer science.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
His parents Raja and Maria say their son’s love of learning started at a very young age. He was reading at the age of 3 and doing algebra a couple of years after that.<\/p>\n
After attending kindergarten at a public school and not finding it challenging enough, Raja’s parents put him into an online Charter school, which allowed him to do two grades in one year.<\/p>\n
So at age 9, he was off to Community College, which he graduated from at 13 years old, with associate’s degrees in mathematics and software economics.<\/p>\n
Then he was off to the\u00a0University of Pittsburgh where is hit the books hard, but still made time to hang out with friends he made on campus.<\/p>\n
Raja is now planning on getting his master’s at Pitt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most 16-year-olds spend their weekend at the movies or hanging out with friends, but Raja Krishnaswamy was graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":32936,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3096],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-good-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-13 03:03:36","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/good-news\/2023\/05\/16-year-old-graduates-from-university\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34583"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34583\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34584,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34583\/revisions\/34584"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
