GAINESVILLE - Michael Berglund looks the role of the teenager he is -- long hair, a spiked leather cuff and baggy jeans. <br> <br> But the 15-year-old sophomore at Gainesville High School is also going to be a freshman at the State University of West Georgia. He got a full scholarship and is ready to start classes in the fall. <br> <br> Even his family is envious of his classroom prowess. <br> <br> Relatives say Berglund didn&#39;t feel challenged in the schools he&#39;s attended. By kindergarten, he already knew how to add, subtract and read. He even taught his grade school class how to use a new Apple computer when it arrived. <br> <br> Berglund sought out other educational activities when he wasn&#39;t in school. He attended summer programs for gifted students at Duke University and Vassar College. One summer, he went to Australia with a student ambassador program. <br> <br> Berglund says he&#39;s considering studying psychology.
