“From the beginning we realized that Jeremy was not like other children. We considered sending him to a school for talented children, but in the end there was not much to choose from because he had very advanced knowledge. So I quit my career to dedicate my time teaching my son Jeremy. We opted for the homeschooling option »said his mother, Harrey Schuler.
Jeremy is ready to face the challenges of his college life. Jeremy lives with his parents, the family relocated to Ithaca, New York, and his father works at the Lockheed Martin branch.
His pre-college concerns were the same as all freshmen: make friends.
"I was nervous at first, but now I'm much more excited," Jeremy said. "As my mother said, all the boys on campus are older than me, so I'm used to having older friends ».
He also said that «Especially in the first weeks, I'm going to need help getting around campus and get used to university life because I have been studying at home all my life ». Source
