Being educated is not just about going to school and getting a certificate but it is about having in-depth knowledge about subjects that are important to you irrespective of your age.

As college students across the country return to classes for the fall semester, Georgia Tech is welcoming a 13-year-old teen who hopes to major in aerospace engineering.

The young boy who is identified as Caleb Anderson has attended the first day of his classes at the Georgia Institute of Technology on Monday.

According to a statement from the university, Anderson began his college career as a sophomore taking courses at Chattahoochee Technical College for advanced credit.

Anderson, who happens to be the youngest student on Georgia Tech’s campus, described his first day of classes as “quite interesting” in a university statement. He was intimidated by the size of the school’s campus, describing it as “huge”.

“It’s the kind of school I’ve wanted to go to for a very long time, and I’m finally here,” said Anderson, who lives in Marietta, Georgia.

Anderson’s parents, Cobie and Claire Anderson were on campus with their son on his first day.

“He’s ready to pull. He knows how to come back from a punch … and keeps trying,” said Koby Anderson.

One challenge is paying for Anderson’s education. As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, the 13-year-old was too young to receive a Georgia merit-based educational scholarship.

But after Anderson made headlines for his academic success last year, the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, founded by TV personality Steve Harvey and his wife, offered to help pay for his tuition, Good Morning America reported.

According to a statement from Georgia Tech, Anderson has goals other than graduating from Georgia Tech. He hopes to pursue a career at SpaceX, start his own company, and be a positive influence on other black teens. Isn’t this great?

“I want to help others who may only need the nourishment and resources I need,” Anderson said.

The reason why most people are where they are today is that they never made an attempt or maybe they made an attempt once, and they failed. Luckily, Anderson has taken a bold step.

Congratulations Anderson!
