William Maillis has a lot to be proud about.

At just 11, he has already graduated college and is looking at a career in astrophysics, ABC Action News reported.

The young boy graduated from St. Petersburg College in Florida (US) on July 21. He reportedly received his associate in arts degree.

When he was one-year-old he was already able to perform addition and subtraction. By the age of three he learned the alphabet in six languages and was able to do Algebra at four.

Maillis is appreciative of his skills and says everyone is blessed with something unique. "Everybody has gifts from God. I was gifted with knowledge and science and history," he told Bay News 9.

Now he's looking to start classes at the University of South Florida. "I want to be an astrophysicist," William told Bay News 9. "I want to prove to the world that God does exist through science."
