Is there a similar story of a boy of color with poor parents being this successful? Of course not.

Also, this exemplifies the fact that from grades 1-12, there are some grades that are just fillers that give children time to grow up. The goal is not education, it is public childcare. Nowadays it is very typical for local community colleges to award 2-year degrees upon completion of high school.
