Chandler Hughes, a 6-year-old African American kid from Texas, has recently joined Mensa, making him one of the organization’s youngest members.
Before he even became a toddler, Chandler amazed his parents when he started reading at the age of 1, according to WLBT.
Chandler’s father proudly recounted that by the time he was in pre-kindergarten, he had already completed second-grade level reading and mathematics. He then skipped kindergarten and went right into first grade.
Sure, he has the intellect, but Chandler’s father is equally concerned about helping his son improve his social skills.
“He’s in a great environment where his teachers and his peers all support him,” his dad said.
Chandler, at six years old, has already set his sights on becoming a doctor. He stated that he aspires to become a “medical doctor because I want to help people when they are sick.”
