Chandler Hughes, a six-year-old from Humble, Texas, is regarded as one of the smartest kids in the state—if not the entire nation. Intending to become a doctor in the future, Hughes has joined the prestigious Mensa Society.

The young prodigy told KPRC, “A medical doctor because I want to help people when they are sick.”




His father disclosed, “It started early, started reading at one year, nine months.”

He added that although his son is in a wonderful setting where both his instructors and peers support him, he still wants to work on his sociability because Hughes is an intellectual.
