COLUMBUS, Ohio
You might remember Danya Hamad.
10TV did a story on her, last year when she was believed to be the youngest person to ever graduate from Columbus State with an associate of arts degree. She was 15.
At least she was believed to be the youngest.
"It's amazing," David Hamad said. "I feel good and I feel accomplished."
Daoud "David" Hamad is one year and three months Danya's junior, which means when he receives his associate of science degree from Columbus State in a couple weeks, it would make him the youngest graduate.
"Yeah, I was thinking 'I'm going to beat her," David joked of taking the title from his sister.
"There's always going to be a part of me that's just like 'Well, dang. I wish that I could keep holding on to that title'," Danya said. "But, I'm very proud to give it to my brother.
If that's not impressive enough, David is technically graduating from college before high school.
He attends Reynoldsburg High School. When he was in seventh grade he took College Credit Plus, which allowed him to get dual credit for college classes at Columbus State. In three years he's gathered 64 hours of credit. Only 61 are needed to graduate.
