(NewsNation) — A long list of achievements has adorned the short life of Subarno Isaac Bari.
At six months old, Bari said his first words. At 2, he memorized the periodic table. At just 12 years old, Bari graduated from high school, making the native New Yorker the youngest scholar to ever earn a diploma from his alma mater.
Now, he's become the youngest person ever admitted to New York University.
Whether it's authoring two books, delivering lectures overseas or just plain outpacing his peers, Bari told "NewsNation Prime" his achievements come from supportive parents and teachers along the way.
"It's actually a miracle. I can't believe something of this magnitude has happened to me," he said. "I'm so grateful for not only my parents but for the school administration that allowed this to happen."
His parents drop him off and pick him up from his classes, allowing him to live a semi-normal pre-teen life, even if the backdrop is a college campus.
Bari told NewsNation he's always searching for a hands-on learning environment, one that will help him achieve his goal of becoming a professor of math and science in the future.
"That's why I drop out of every class that I see that has a lecture hall. It's just so disengaging to me," he said. "The professor never cares about you, personally."
He hopes that, when he becomes an educator, he can be an engaged, helpful figure for those looking to learn.
"I feel there are so many people out there who need that education, who need that resource, but just don't have the time, just don't have the money or the resources to have it," Bari said.
"With tuition driving higher and higher nowadays, I want to be a resource for those who really need it," he added.
