Love to see it!!!!


While many teens are managing to get through high school, this 15-year-old boy will make history at Sam Houston State University by being its first youngest graduate.

Nehemiah Juniel, 15, will receive his bachelor’s degree in health sciences in August, making him the youngest student to ever graduate from the university.

Juniel said he’s always had an interest in learning, which led him to discover how to play the piano by ear, according to the university. At just 5 years old, he was doing pre-algebra and received his Associate of Arts degree at 13 years old.

“Words can’t express how proud we are of him,” Raphael Juniel, his father, said.

“Nehemiah was reading and writing at two. So, we always knew this kid was special,” Corie Juniel, his mother, said.

:salute:

I love that he is going into the medical field, and as a surgeon.

I was in the hospital the other day and was looking at the wall of decorated MDs. Not one black face. I was damn man really?

I hope his curiosity for knowledge and overachieving becomes contagious to other Black men around him

Above the fray.
GREAT story.

Got one life to live, and this young man is making the best of his.

His parents always instilled the value of never giving up on all their children. Nehemiah grew up with six siblings and was homeschooled by his parents along with his sister, who will also graduate ahead of schedule from SHSU in the fall at 19 years old

GREAT parents

What happened to the institutional racism here?

...Maybe he had involved parents who instilled academic excellence...I dunno.:jbhmm:
Clearly that’s not the case for you since you’re on here doing the work of a white racist trying to say institutional racism Doesn’t negatively and disproportionately hurt the black community.

You also conveniently ignored my response because it threw water in the face of the nonsense you were spewing. You’re another one who needs to take some history classes. fukking baby brain shyt

It starts at home!

God I love seeing stories like this.
This is what happens when people focus on properly rearing children and when people actually have a PLAN for their child’s life.

Beautiful.

I don't know what this is reference to but his excellence and his parents great work does NOT mean he hasn't or won't be subject to racism on his journey and in his life.

Unfortunately, soon as he cracks open one of those medical textbooks he may be subject to chapters regarding the pain tolerance of Black ppl being more than others, for example.

Don't ever think that Black ppl excelling DESPITE systemic barriers means they don't exist.

A little louder so there’s no confusion.
