Mensa at four
Ares qualified for Mensa through standardized testing and became a member at four years old. That milestone is part of his story, alongside the curiosity, work, play, and family encouragement that followed.
From a very young age, Ares showed an intense curiosity about how the world works. He taught himself to read early and quickly became interested in mathematics, geography, world capitals, flags, science, the solar system, U.S. presidents, shapes, colors, animals, and other subjects well beyond the material normally introduced to preschool-aged children. When something captured his attention, he wanted to understand it, remember it, and move on to the next challenge.
Some of Ares's earliest videos documented this period of his life. They showed him reading, working through math, identifying flags, naming world capitals, recalling U.S. presidents, and sharing knowledge he had absorbed through independent study. Those recordings, photographs, and published stories are an important part of his history and should remain available as a dated record of his early development.
