STUPID / Amazing.

While growing up the fire burned deep inside I couldn't go to public schools so I had to hide. I felt as if I knew nothing everyone said I learned differently. People around my neighborhood stared at me. They said she was stupid she's the one that can't read. Teachers didn't know what to make of it No one understood. I ended up getting home schooled and held there captive. I felt as if I knew nothing. Everything felt hard and nothing came easy. My parents told me I was special I knew that's what they told stupid people. I thought maybe something was wrong with me. Then I went to special classes in a school I went there for only a week before I knew:. The reason I had problems learning was because I was learning things to easy. I had a photographic memory and An IQ of 180. Suddenly everyone looked at me differently! those who gave me hell, about how I had troubles to spell. or math. Excuse me, for believing you. I had no idea none of this was true my parents were right all along. Just then everything came together I was placed in the highest school I had the number one ranking. I was higher then you I wasn't as average as anyone made me out to be I was even above the top three in a regular school. How happy I was to think, I was a genius, to think I was smart to think I had it all in my head I just never knew which hand was left or which hand was right, Its amazing how the mind works So simple, so complex. This is new to me But at least from this moment on in my life I will be happy. I could be the next Einstein for all you know I could be the next billionaire. Or more.
