I found this video so amusing comparing this little 14 yrs old to all of us ordinary humans, I had to laugh at the immense diversity we have in this world…
It is truly enriching to embrace it with humor and appreciate the spectrum it gives us. It is indeed refreshing to meet this young boy’s mind through you tube, who is so fulfilled and happy in what he does.
That is what you call living to your full potential!
Let me know if it amused you too 🙂

Fourteen-year-old programmer and software developer Santiago Gonzalez might just be the next Steve Jobs. He already has 15 iOS apps to his name and dreams of designing for Apple. At age 12, Santiago became a full-time college student and is on track to earn his bachelor’s degree in computer science and electrical engineering by age 16. By 17, when most teenagers are excited to just have their driver’s license, Santiago will have his masters degree.
A self-professed computer nerd, Santiago is fluent in a dozen different programming languages and thousands of people have downloaded his apps for the Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Learn how Santiago’s parents overcame a rigid school system that left their son intellectually stifled and depressed and instead followed an unconventional pathway to nurture his incredible gifts. Santiago’s story is truly inspiring and his family’s experience provides a powerful model for parents of exceptionally gifted children.

This was so interesting. My dad was a VP at CSC and predicted so many things about computers when I was in elementary school (a few decades ago!) and he predicted all this stuff back then… it is amazing to see it all come to pass. Thanks for sharing. This kid is incredible!
Thank you so much for this heartfelt feedback. It is nice to brink back a little warmth from someones past. Yep! Parents always know best 🙂
This kid is indeed amazing!
The genius boy was a heart-warming little guy… but I thought Brooke Raboutou (one of the other videos in this series) was just as amazing! She is an 11 year old rock climbing prodigy. Thanks for sharing these (:
Thanks for dropping by and commenting. I’ll surely check that one too, I had not noticed her video 🙂
