8 year old boy spent a university in Belgium | Education

Lawrence Simons, whose father is Belgian and his Dutch mother, has an IQ of 145, according to his parents, and graduated from a group of 18-year-old students. In Belgium, according to the local press, 2.5% of the population is considered as having a high potential with an IQ of 130 or more.

In an interview with Belgian radio RTBF, Laurent says his favorite subject is mathematics "because it's so vast with statistics, geometry, algebra".

Laureny has already been surveyed by several universities, according to her father Alexander. "We are still finding ourselves, we have received many offers, including from abroad," he said.

The boy, however, has not yet chosen an institution. He will enjoy two months of school holidays to define his future and rest.

The boy's father said that his son even insisted on playing with other children when he was younger, but he was not interested in toys.

The boy himself said that he was bored in clbad. "Sometimes other students took too long to answer, so I was answering for them," he told reporters at his first press conference.

Lawrence said that he was considering becoming a surgeon and astronaut, but now he was thinking of diving into the computer world.
