12 Yr Old Black 'Genius' Enters Second Year In COLLEGE!!

LYNDON ABIOYE
October 4th 2020

Like 12 year olds Caleb Anderson enjoys collecting action figures, playing with Beyblades, watching Netflix, and playing Roblox. But he's also unlike most 12-year-olds in other ways - MTO News has confirmed that he is a sophomore in college majoring in aerospace engineering.



Caleb is a student at Chattahoochee Technical College in Marietta, Georgia, where he is on track to graduate with a bachelor's degree in two years.

After that, Caleb plans to get a masters at either Georgia Institute of Technology or Massachusetts Institute for Technology, and then get an internship working for Elon Musk.

He's got it all planned out.


Caleb's mother Claire, who is a teacher, told the local newspaper that she first realized her son was gifted when he began mimicking her speech at just 4 weeks old.

At 9 months, he could sign more than 250 words in American Sign Language and had no trouble reading words he'd never seen before.

He continued to breeze through school, and in Middle School, Claire and her husband decided they had to make a change. Claire Anderson, 46, said Caleb would breeze through tests without having to study because he already knew most of the material.

"I didn't like the character that was building in him," she said. "He didn't have any study skills, perseverance, grit. He didn’t ask for help."

So they enrolled him in college instead.

Claire and her husband Kobi, who works in IT sales, have two other children – Aaron, 8, and Hannah, 7, who are in the gifted program at their school.
While they describe Caleb as verbally gifted, meaning he quickly picks words quickly including words on other languages, Aaron is good with numbers and Hannah excels at puzzles.

Legacy of the Million Dollar Shot
Some of the older members of the site might remember but if you are say younger than 35 probably not. Anyway we have all seen those contest sink a half court shot win $10k or something similar, well the reason that they are those amounts is because on April 13, 1993 Don Calhoun was picked to shoot a shot from the opposite foul line for $1million. He stepped up let fly and drained the shot and life changed forever.

At first the insurance company was not going to pay the money because he had played college basketball and that violated the rules. The insurance company eventually did relent after the Bulls players, coaches, front office, and sponsors made them look bad by saying that they would pay it. Anyway Don became a minor celebrity after making the shot. He was on the national talk shows, got a one year contract with the Harlem Globtrotters, got a song written about him, and was even invited to the White House and got honored right along side Muhammed Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabar. That was all fine and good but he was determined to do more.


Inspired by his older brother who was killed in a car accident a few years before he had 3 goals he wanted to fufill with the money. First of course was to get his brother a tombstone. Second was to finish his education. Third was to ensure his own son's education was paid for. His son was 3 years old at the time of the million dollar shot and as he got older his dad asked him what he wanted to be his answer was a mechanic. Don not one to discourage essentially told his son to aim higher, and while he was in college he met a man that would inspire him to do so. Today Clarence Calhoun II(named after his late uncle) goes by another title and that title is Dr of Internal Medicine and is currently in his 2nd year of residency at UIC hospital.
