Florida teenager graduates from college, then graduates from high school.


For most students, that sounds backwards. For Grace Bush, it's normal.

Did I mention she's only 16-years old, too?

Bush, a Miami, Florida, native, graduated from Florida Atlantic University recently, earning a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. She earned her degree while participating in FAU's dual enrollment program which allows intelligent high school students to register and obtain credit for similar courses.

Home-schooled by her mother, Bush started college when she was 13-years old, working year-round without a break in order to attain her bachelor's as quickly as possible.

In case you didn't feel humbled enough by your own fairly benign academic standards, Bush also plays the flute in two orchestras.

Her next goal, as she tells CBS Miami, is to get a full scholarship to a good law school. But why stop there?

"I would eventually like to become chief justice of the United States," Bush tells the television station.

The current chief justice, John Roberts, better watch his back.
