In the bustling halls of Rocky Mount Elementary School, nestled in Cobb County, there’s a young scholar whose favorite pastime involves a stack of books and a boundless curiosity. Meet Graham Chapman, a seven-year-old first-grader whose insatiable thirst for knowledge has earned him a prestigious invitation to join Mensa, the renowned High IQ Society.
For Graham, the journey to Mensa began with a simple love for reading. With an armful of books never far from reach, he immerses himself in worlds of adventure and discovery. “I think a lot. Even more on days when I’m at home,” Graham shares, a testament to his voracious appetite for intellectual exploration.
His passion for reading knows no bounds, as he eagerly devours books cover to cover, often revisiting them multiple times to glean new insights and knowledge. When asked about the number of times he’s read his favorite books, Graham’s response is as modest as it is impressive: “I don’t remember how many times precisely,” he muses with a twinkle in his eye.
Graham’s exceptional intellect captured the attention of Mensa after his test scores from the school’s Gifted Program revealed a remarkable achievement: placing him in the 99th percentile. His parents, Faith and Doug Chapman, marvel at their son’s cognitive abilities, noting his engaging demeanor, articulate speech, and remarkable memory.
“It’s like he’s a step ahead of us all the time,” Doug reflects, highlighting Graham’s precocious nature and keen intellect. From his early years, Graham’s parents fostered a love for learning, with his mother reading to him and now delighting in his ability to read to her, sharing fascinating facts about stegosauruses and other topics that captivate his curious mind.
With an IQ estimated to be at least 132, Graham offers sage advice to those aspiring to follow in his footsteps: “Read. Study. Do well on your testing.” His parents, both medical professionals, envision a bright future for their gifted son, with aspirations for him to follow in the footsteps of the fictional prodigy, Doogie Howser, M.D.
