“I had lots of friends my own age too, and I think that was really important,” he continues. “I had lots of friends in college and hung out with a lot of the people there in my programs,” he states. Though the other students were almost twice his age, Smith says he wasn’t rejected. “It was a bit strange of course, being that much younger,” Smith admits. Though it didn’t seem like it at the time, he explains to “Oprah: Where Are They Now?“ that being in college at such a young age made him have to grow up fast. At ten years old he entered college where he studied advanced level physics, French and calculus. By the age of seven, he was walking the halls of high school. He cruised through most of primary school in just one year.
To say that Greg Smith was a talented child is putting it easily.
