Whiz Kid: Maddy Kouvolo

Name : Maddy Kouvolo

Age : 8

School : Home School

Accomplishment: Maddy successfully memorized over 500 facts combined in the subjects of European History, Latin, English Grammar, Science, European Geography, and Math, plus a Historical time line with 165 events, and became a Memory Master through her local Classical Conversations group last year.

Key to Awesomeness: She has determination and dedication! If she sets her mind to do something, she doesn't let anything get in her way to stop her. She practiced every day from August through April to be able to memorize all 500 facts, because she was determined to be a "Memory Master", and we are proud to say she did it! She has already begun working hard to be able to hold that title next year as well.
