10-Year-Old College Grad Breaks a Record Set by Her 2 Older Siblings, 12 and 13
Zora Elling, 10, has become the youngest person to graduate from Irvine Valley College in California, according to the school The pre-teen broke the record previously set by her own siblings, Athena and Tycho, at the same school Zora told KABC-TV that getting her record-setting degree was 'a bit scary' but also 'really fun'A 10-year-old girl is now the youngest graduate ever at a California college, breaking her own siblings' records. Zora Elling has set the record at Irvine Valley College (IVC) after receiving her Associate in Science for Transfer degree in Mathematics, according to a Facebook post shared by the school. IVC described Zora as 'a math whiz, a STEM advocate and a total inspiration.' She plans to attend the University of California in Irvine this fall. 'The Elling family continues to redefine what's possible—one remarkable milestone at a time. 💙💛,' school officials wrote. Zora said getting her record-setting degree was 'a bit scary' but also 'really fun,' according to ABC affiliate KABC-TV. "I don't really care about breaking the record, I just wanted to take the math classes," the 10-year-old explained. Zora, who has yet to graduate from high school, will transfer to UC Irvine, where she plans to major in math, this fall, according to The Orange County Register. Christina Chow, Zora's mom, said her 10-year-old daughter has long been resilient. 'As parents, you always just try to figure out what it is they like and support them,' she explained. 'For Zora, it's always been pets and reading and math.' This is the third straight year that the record has been broken, having been previously set by Zora's siblings Athena and Tycho. Athena was just 11 years old when she set the last record in May 2024, earning an associate's degree in liberal arts. Older brother Tycho was also 11 when he set the record in 2023. His birthday took place within days of his graduation, while Athena's was seven months away. Athena is currently taking more classes at IVC, while Tycho is preparing to graduate from UC Irvine this month with a bachelor's in mathematics, according to KABC-TV. Tycho reportedly plans to enter the University of Southern California's Ph.D. program in August.

Athena said she and her siblings are not fond of the phrase 'genius' being used to describe them. "I think we sort of have this rule that whatever we do, we really do it to our full extent," she said, per KABC-TV. Read the original article on People
