She's also working on two engineering degrees.
A
10-year-old genius is preparing to take over the world.
Adhara
Pérez Sánchez, a young Mexican girl, has an IQ of 162, which is two points
higher than Albert Einstein's and Stephen Hawking's. According to NBC San
Diego, she aspires to be an astronaut in order to improve the world, travel to
space, and even colonise Mars.
And she's
well on her way to realising her ambitions. She learned to read at the age of
three, started putting together 100-piece puzzles, and even studied algebra.
She is now studying systems engineering at Universidad CNCI and industrial
engineering with a concentration on mathematics at UNITEC in Mexico.
But life
hasn't been simple for her. Pérez Sanchez was diagnosed with Asperger's
syndrome, an autistic spectrum disorder that makes social contact difficult,
when she was three years old, and she suffered in school as a result. She was
ridiculed by her classmates, who referred to her as "weirdo" or
"oddball." She slept through several of her classes and showed little
interest in the topic, according to some of her professors, which was out of
character for her, according to her mother, Nallely Sánchez. Because the small
girl enjoyed passing the time at home by studying the periodic table, her
mother decided to seek help for a new education plan after she became depressed
and refused to attend school.
This was a
turning point for the family, as it was discovered that she had a phenomenal IQ
of 162. It's important to note that someone with an IQ of 130 is already
considered gifted.
Following
that, the young prodigy was able to learn in an atmosphere adapted to her
specific needs, allowing her to complete elementary school at the age of five,
middle school at the age of six, and high school at the age of eight.
She has
even represented her university, Universidad CNCI, by speaking about black
holes at an event held by Tijuana's Institute of Art and Culture, in addition
to her two degrees.
She wants
to go to the University of Arizona, which is her dream school because of its
space exploration programme, which has been acknowledged by NASA. Robert C.
Robbins, the University's president, has already encouraged her to study there,
and it's a perfect environment for a future astronaut.
As she pursues
her dream of becoming an astronaut, the little girl is also utilising hersocial media channels to reach out to other children on the autistic spectrum
and encourage them to achieve their dreams. She went so far as to write a book
about it. "Don't give up," she advises, "and if you don't like
where you're at, start planning where you want to be."
