At just 12 years old, Cameron Robinson has achieved what most teenagers can only dream of—earning an Associate of Arts degree from Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ). This remarkable young scholar’s journey began at the tender age of seven when he enrolled in a dual enrollment program, balancing his middle school courses with college classes. His dedication paid off, and on May 9, he proudly received his degree during FSCJ’s graduation ceremony.

Cameron's father started teaching him algebra when he was just five years old, sparking a love for math that would propel him into college. His passion for the subject was evident early on, as he used math to calculate the speed of a soccer ball. This enthusiasm and aptitude helped him secure admission to FSCJ, where his presence inspired other students to aim higher.

Outside of academics, Cameron is still very much a kid. He enjoys playing basketball and hanging out with friends in his neighborhood. Looking ahead, Cameron is set to attend the University of North Florida with aspirations of studying engineering at MIT. His ultimate goal is to delve into the world of nanotechnology, a field where his early start in academics and love for math will undoubtedly serve him well.

Cameron Robinson's story is a testament to the power of early education and the incredible potential of young minds when nurtured and supported. His journey reminds us that age is no barrier to achieving great things.
