11-year-old college grad follows brother who graduated at 12 | Cuomo

Athena Elling is one of tens of thousands of new college graduates, but she also holds a record: the youngest person to earn an associate degree from Irvine Valley College in California. Even more incredible: Athena beat the previous record by six months, one formerly held by her brother, who graduated from college at age 12. Athena tells Brian Entin on “Cuomo” she’s far from finished with her education, as she is still a high school student as well as a college grad.
