At just 12 years old, Cameron Robinson has achieved an incredible accomplishment by earning an associate of arts degree from Florida State College at Jacksonville. The young scholar began his college journey at FSCJ when he was only 7 years old, through a dual enrollment program. He recently received his degree at FSCJ's graduation ceremony on May 9th.
Cameron's dedication and hard work paid off as he successfully balanced his middle school courses while also completing his A.A. Despite his young age, Cameron's classmates and friends were always amazed by his achievement. "My friends are always like, 'What? You're graduating college?' And they don't believe me whenever I tell them. So it's definitely a cool experience," Cameron shared with WTLV-TV. He also mentioned how his professors treated him like any other student and how FSCJ helped him develop interpersonal skills that will be valuable in his future endeavors, such as pursuing his bachelor's degree.
For Cameron's parents, Sandy and Dr. Greg Robinson, it has been a unique and interesting experience to see their son excel in his academic journey. "It's definitely different when your son is seven and he's starting college," Sandy said. "It's been a journey that we've been working through over the last several years, and trying to make sure that he stays engaged." They also expressed their gratitude towards FSCJ for providing a safe and supportive environment for their son's education.
FSCJ is home to a diverse community of students, including 12-year-old Cameron Robinson. In a video shared by the college, Cameron shared his passion for math and how he used it to calculate the speed of a soccer ball when he first joined FSCJ at the age of 7. His math professor even noted that Cameron's presence in the classroom may have motivated other students to strive for higher grades.
Cameron's academic journey began at an early age, with his father teaching him algebra at just 5 years old. When it came time to enroll in college, Cameron's impressive math skills were on full display, and he was admitted to FSCJ. His parents were never concerned about him being among older students, as Cameron had always been ahead academically. "He seems to fit right in with his buddies," Sandy shared, mentioning how Cameron also enjoys playing basketball and spending time with his friends in the neighborhood.
With a strong passion for math, particularly calculus, Cameron's next step is to attend the University of North Florida, with dreams of studying engineering at MIT. He is especially interested in the field of nanotechnology and is determined to continue his academic success and make a positive impact in the world.
