At six years old, most young children are entering first grade. That was not the case with the extraordinary Joshua Beckford. At the age of six, he started taking classes at the Oxford University, and has dreams of someday becoming a neurosurgeon.
Beckford’s father, Knox Daniel, first noticed his son was clever when he was sitting on his lap while on the computer. Young Joshua was reading fluently by the time he was two-and-a-half, and taught himself to touch-type on a computer before he could write using a pencil. He can speak Japanese, practices medical surgery on a computer simulator, and has completed more than 1,000 math problems.
In 2011, his father wanted to challenge his son, so he wrote to the university to see if he could participate in a philosophy course for bright children between the age of eight and thirteen. They agreed, and Joshua was the youngest student ever accepted. He even passed with distinction.
In addition to all of his academic success, the young scholar is the face of the National Autistic Society’s Black and Minority campaign. The organization works to highlight the obstacles minorities face when trying to obtain access to the support and services they need.

Hi there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay.
I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the issue
fixed soon. Many thanks
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!
I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s

Having read this I believed it was extremely informative.
I appreciate you spending some time and effort

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested
to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is
now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off
topic but I had to share it with someone!

Appreciating the dedication you put into your blog and detailed information you present.
It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Great read!
I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS

A further issue is really that video gaming has become one of the all-time largest forms of excitement for people of every age group. Kids play video games, and adults do, too. The actual XBox 360 is probably the favorite games systems for those who love to have hundreds of video games available to them, along with who like to experiment with live with other folks all over the world. Thanks for sharing your opinions.
