13437004, MAn the practice that those skills take
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Fri Jul-09-21 10:23 AM
And the practice winning a spelling bee takes. She must be Uber self disciplined beyond her intelligence.

Avant garde for real
13437037, She said she "only" practiced spelling 7 hours per day lol

13437017, Per the Sha’Carri meme, she needs an off-limits pass in the hood.

Um... this doesn’t look like a 10,000 hours type of thing.
Is this (or could this be) a case of her being born with a certain extra “something”?
The one where she is keeping alive the dribble of like 10 balls- she wasn’t patting the balls really fast- it was slow, same bounce height. It was like her mind just slowed it down and knew which balls needed to be bounced next.

Ok, I went back- the last tweet. It was like six or seven but still. I know she did some more difficult stuff (that looks like someone could do with hella practice) but this one made me think it just a unique processing ability.
13437061, she's definitely gifted
Posted by ThaTruth, Sat Jul-10-21 08:18 PM
13437062, respectfully, don't diminish her effort.
Posted by AFRICAN, Sun Jul-11-21 06:00 AM
she worked for her skills.

I'm not. I admire the work she's put in just as much as that thing I perceive her to have.
13437311, you are, accidentally.

Can't wait to hear what she'll be doing 6 to 8 years from now. Her future is limitless.
