Anthaea-Grace Patricia Dennis is not your typical 12-year-old. She is a child prodigy who’s about to become the youngest Canadian to ever graduate from university.
On Saturday, Patricia Dennis will walk across the University of Ottawa stage in her cap and gown and accept a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science.
“I feel like part of why I’m going to the convocation and walking across the stage is for her own benefit to say, ‘Thank you for being there for me.’ I think that’s really the main purpose of the graduation in the first place,” said Patricia Dennis.Being a preteen in an intensive university program has come with a unique set of challenges. Patricia Dennis has had to deal with people’s preconceived notions and expectations about how she is going to look, talk and act based on her age.
The highlight of her university career so far was completing a 40-page thesis on the relationship functional activity in the cerebellum — the part of the brain responsible for co-ordinating balance and movement — and handedness. “I can now call myself a researcher,” she said. “There are people showing interest in what I’m doing, and I feel like the master of the cerebellum.”
