Student to graduate at 16, hopes to become veterinarian

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington teen is not your average student. Anthony Gregory, 16, is graduating this year from Isaac Bear Early College. The exceptional student has enough high school credits to get his diploma.

While volunteering with Needham Animal Hospital in Wilmington, Gregory is also working on his senior project about pet health and exercise. He says he hopes to become a veterinarian and he’s learned a lot from doing his senior project.

“Don’t feed your dogs avocados, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, tomatoes and chocolate of course because those can be harmful to your dogs,” Gregory said.

Gregory plans to attend Miller-Motte College during his first year and then will apply to continue his studies at NC State.
