Whiz Kid: Eli Ford

Name: Eli Ford

Age: 4

School:

Church:

Accomplishment: Eli has memorized all the U.S. Presidents, Vice Presidents and First Ladies by sight and number.

Key to Awesomeness: Eli lives and breathes “presidents”. The key to learning so quickly has been immersion. Instead of playing “Duck, Duck Goose”, he calls it "President, President Goose". During the game of Hide-and-Seek, he says the name of the President that coincides with the number he is counting. His favorite game is “Pick a Number”, where someone picks a number between 1 and 44 and he tells the name of the president, vice-president, first lady and any other trivia he may know. For a treat, his parents Brandon and Stephanie Ford allow him to watch the History Channel. One of his favorite places to visit is the Presidential Exhibit at the in Cartersville.
