2-year-old genius knows the periodic table of chemistry, 10 years later enters prestigious university

Possessing a superhuman intelligence and learning ability, Suborno Bari became a student at New York University (USA) majoring in both Mathematics and Physics at the age of 12.

His father was a Physics teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School, and his mother was an elementary school teacher. From a young age, Suborno Bari was exposed to a variety of knowledge.

At the age of 2, Bari surprised everyone by being able to memorize the entire periodic table of chemical elements, which is difficult for high school students. From here, Bari was discovered to possess a special ability, being able to quickly memorize information heard and read. Bari became more and more known and called a prodigy.

At the age of 6, Bari was recognized by Harvard University for his exceptional intellectual abilities and then participated in a special education program for American prodigies.

At the age of 7, Suborno was invited to give speeches at several universities in India. His face became more and more familiar to the academic world. At the age of 11, the boy set a world record when he scored 1,500/1,600 on the SAT.

Thanks to his outstanding abilities, Bari had no difficulty in going to school. This prodigy continuously skipped grades, from grade 4 straight to grade 8, from grade 9 straight to grade 12. Bari's average score at school was always near perfect.

At the beginning of his senior year, Bari took preparatory classes at New York University and Stony Brook University. Here, Bari had to complete many assignments in a short time, the classes were longer, the study materials were more difficult, completely different from his high school years. The teachers highly appreciated his ability to absorb knowledge.

At age 12, Bari became a special student at New York University. He set a goal to finish his undergraduate degree early so he could go straight to his doctorate.

At New York University, Bari studied not one but two majors: Mathematics and Physics at the same time because he believed that these two sciences were closely related and would help each other in the research process.

Bari's success today is largely due to the proper education of his parents. The prodigy affirms that his parents are the ones who nurtured his love of learning.

When he became famous, many people came to Bari's parents' house to ask for "secret tips" on raising children. Suborno Bari's father - Mr. Rashidul gave many tips for parents to raise their children.

He shared that before Bari, they had a 21-year-old son - Refath, who had graduated from college and was studying for a master's degree in physics at Brown University (USA). The process of raising Refath helped them gain a lot of experience when giving birth to Bari.

When Bari was in his mother's womb, Mr. Rashidul often told stories and read books to his child. That was how Bari was exposed to knowledge very early.

Bari was allowed by his parents to develop naturally based on his abilities, not forcing him to learn things he did not like, always respecting his wishes. When they saw that their son liked math, his parents bought suitable books so that he could satisfy his passion for learning math.

His parents also did not force him to become talented or famous, which helped his growing up process without pressure.

Initially, when discovering that their son had extraordinary abilities, Mr. Rashidul and his wife worked together to teach Bari at home, but by the age of 5, the two parents were "helpless" because they no longer had the knowledge to teach their son any further. At this time, Mr. Rashidul created conditions for his son to go to university to have professors teach him more. Thanks to that, Bari increasingly developed his own talents.

In addition to studying with their son, Mr. Rashidul and his wife also pay attention to creating a suitable schedule so that the boy can still meet and play with friends to avoid isolation leading to depression like many other child prodigies.

Mr. Rashidul believes that the most important thing in the process of raising children is companionship. This creates a bond between parents and children, and at the same time creates more motivation and confidence for children to develop their talents.
