TAMPA – Ahmed Mohamed, an American Muslim student, become the youngest to graduate from University of South Florida last Friday, announcing that he will enroll in both medical and law schools simultaneously.

“Yes, it can be tough and yes, it can be stressful,” he told ABC Action News.

During last Friday’s ceremony, Mohamed was the youngest to walk across USF’s graduation stage to get his USF diploma.

The Blake High prodigy came to USF when he was 15 years old.

“For the first two months, I am going to be dropped off by my mother at college until I get my own license and my own car,” he told ABC Action News.

His actual age was a surprise to many in the USF.

“I didn’t even know how young he is until about a year ago. I had no idea,” said USF Honors College Dean Charles Adams.

The young Muslim student is enrolled in USF’s Medical School and Stetson Law School.

“Do your friends say, what are you thinking? Are you crazy?” the ABC host asked.

“Sometimes,” Mohamed laughed.  “Actually, a lot of the time but mostly I’ve just received encouragement.”

He is the first students to attend both schools at the same time.

“Ethical issues such as you know, access to healthcare. How can we improve the medical system so that more people can have the ability to be healthy? Pricing of drugs and treatments– How can we improve the system, set rules and regulations so that everyone who needs a drug can afford it, you know?” said Mohamed.

Though difficult, many expect Mohamed to succeed in both schools.

“It’s going to be rigorous. It’s going to be difficult but if anybody can do it, Ahmed can do it. I’m confident,” said USF Honors College Dean Adams.
