He said, “I want to be an astrophysicist, and I want to study black holes and supernovas.”

When David Balogun learned he could graduate high school early, he said he wanted to do it and use his knowledge for the greater good. “I wanted to do it because I had the abilities to do it, so why not use those abilities for the greater good?” He said.

“I had to get outside of the box,” David’s mother, Ronya, said. “Playing pillow fights when you’re not supposed to, throwing the balls in the house. She shared some of the parenting challenges she’s had, “He’s a nine-year-old with the brain that has the capacity to understand and comprehend a lot of concepts beyond his years and sometimes beyond my understanding.”

In the meantime, David Balogun isn’t stopping his education. He’s already enrolled in college classes, but he isn’t just focused on education. He wants to be an example to his peers. “I want to use this opportunity to show others I’m not the only one who can do this,” he said.
