I havn't really been active lately because I have a whole load of things to do school wise, I don't want to mess up this semester like I did the last. Anyways.
I was programming in class, and then the teacher came over and asked for my help. I said sure, showed him how to do something in visual basic. Didn't think to much of it.
He came back, looked at my screen and I was working on a HTTP Administration tool in C#, he then talked to me about what I do in my spare time. Some more stuff happened, and today was only the fourth day of this semester and I'm finished the course, I have a whole 5 months to do whatever in the class. So I'm working on games and software for the course to improve it.
He then (after seeing some of my work) asked me to be switched into the grade 12 course because I finished the grade 10 and 11 in 4 days. The school head of technology board asked me to come talk to him. He wants to switch me into a college course.
So I went back today and talked to the guy in charge of going to college, university and stuff. Transcripts and all these things. He said that he called the local University and they said a prodigy like me would be a great addition to their computer courses. I can pick from game design, computer science, or a few others like Java mastery, Web design and one I forget.
So now, I'm the talk of the school. I have people asking me to drk and things for them all the time. I have the local university and college wanting me to join for their next semester. and ALL of it is paid for me, all my books, courses I want and more.
Life is good guys, I never thought this would happen
Tl;dr : I'm going to university in grade 10.

Don't do it, I'd say enter after your 11th grade year. 10th grade is too early..

This sounds unbelievable, i've never heard of someone getting scholarships from being able to program well. There's a shit ton of programmers out there, and they all start young. On top of that, They would most likely look at your academic work, basic subjects like math and reading, science, etc. That's what makes you a prodigy, not having a selective talent in a very specific skillset.

It isn't a scholarship. The school (My highschool) is paying for it. I have no idea why. My math and science are well above normal. But go ahead and doubt me. I'm fine with that.
Edit : I have no idea why they are paying for it. Nor will I ask questions.
Edit 2: I'm just proud, Mkay? This is unclear to me too, I have no idea why I'm being asked to join.Shh, I'm watching My little pony.
