Are you ready to feel like an underachieving dumb-ass? Good. Then meet 10-year-old Dafne Almazan Anaya, Mexico's youngest college student. The previous title holder was Andrew Almazan Anaya, her teenage brother who, at 16, is currently Mexico's youngest psychologist. Andrew started college when he was 12.

"We get along really well," says Dafne, who's currently studying psychology at the Monterrey Institute Of Technology, of her brother. "I read daily. I don't like watching television except for movies and documentaries." She also has an older sister: Delanie is Dafne's 14-year-old sibling and current college mate.

Doctor Asdrubal Almazan, their proud father, shares his thoughts on his lil' smarty pants:

"Having a talented and smart child is a real challenge. It brings lots of happiness, but it's very difficult to handle it in places like Mexico. Parents usually don't know what to do with their gifted children so they send them to psychologists to have them medicated. A huge mistake."

Besides psychology, Dafne wants to study law and nanotechnology because she likes "small robots" and wants to help "humanity."

Cute.

How nice to see people who are given this super talent by God. When I first heard about this case, I didn't think she would go for a traditional college, as online colleges come in handy nowadays. Anyway, it doesn't matter the physical place where she is going to study as long as she does it right!

Wow! This is a great performance. The world is looking for assertive and commanding leaders, but anyone won't imagine a 10 year-old girl playing this role. I must say that I'm impressed.

Without the proper practics and without the training of ones affective dispositions that comes from this doings, theories have little or no practical value. People seek for ages for consistential materials. They tend to read more essay samples for free using affirmative style. What they see looks just simple.
