CPS student with autism awarded 18 college acceptances and nine full-ride scholarships

Eleven years ago, she was diagnosed with autism. Eight years ago, doctors told her that she could not compete academically with her classmates.
But six months ago, Kymera Mitchell, 18, received her first college acceptance letter. More acceptances and full-ride scholarships followed for the graduating senior from Alcott College Prep in North Center. Now, she has 18 acceptances and nine full-ride scholarships.
Kymera’s mom, Kalaveeta Mitchell, said the impact of her daughter’s autism become pervasive during moments of stress — at times interfering with comprehension and causing her to stop speaking.
Kalaveeta....ha ha ha lol :lol
This college application season, Mitchell was rewarded with acceptances from several of the nation’s most selective HBCUs, such as Howard University and Hampton University, along with many Chicago schools, such as DePaul University, Loyola University and School of the Art Institute.
Them quotas must be hard to fill these days. Niggers just don't wanna go to college. (https://www.bestcolleges.com/blog/black-male-enrollment/#:~:text=Black%20men%20face%20discrimination%20and ,of%20Black%20men%20in%20America.)
Kalaveeta Mitchell recalls knowing in her daughter’s early childhood that she was capable of much more than what doctors predicted. Coming home from school, Kymera Mitchell would “rattle off” everything that she learned, walking her mother through the intricacies of the math and reading that she had explored during the day.
Dem maffs an' readins.
But evidence of Kymera’s prowess was not limited to the classroom. On a typical Saturday, she can be found working on a drawing or, just as casually, competing for a medal in the Special Olympics. As a skilled bocce, floor hockey and track and field competitor, she’s won 33 … and counting.
A 'giftud afflete' in the Special Olympics. Now, I can believe that.
