    February 7, 1981


    Samuel was still young but the school where his elder brother attended approved to make a exception. He had to give few tests to pass the entrance. Basic Speaking, Basic reading and Basic writting. This confirms them the status of child. Though they didnt expect a two and a half year old child to do much.


    Samuel passed the Basic speaking test without a issue.


    Nun: Child very good. Now tell me do you like to read?


    Samuel: Yes!


    Nun: Nice so what can you read?


    Samuel: I read the books lying around.


    Nun: Ok read me these books.


    When Samuel started reading they find he can already read sentences and lot more then what a normal child his age can. Surprised by the advancement the child showed at such young age the Nun decided to give him harder writting tests. But to her surprise he solved those too. Samuel was promoted to First standard. Samuel did not understood much but was excited to join the class soon after. The Nun takes Samuel to class while Samuel says buy to his mother without feeling sad or scared. He watches many classes going on with some students reading, some writting on a bigboard and then they enter a hall which seems huge in Samuel''s eyes, filled with kids. His eyes sparkle being with so many kids. The Teacher standing near the BlackBoard smiles towards the young child and introduces him to the class. For next two periods till break no one talked much. But as the break starts the kids circle around him.


    Samuel feeling excited looks at them.


    A boy hits from behind. Startled by this Samuel lowers his head.


    Boy 1: Give me your shoes. They look cool.


    Samuel feels down and sits quietly in class till school ends. Seeing his mother after school end he starts crying and falls asleep in her arms.


    When he wakes he finds a familiar smell of food. Smilling he rushes towards the table and takes a bite. Making him remember his day which he thought was a dream. His mom pats his head asking if everything is ok?


    Samuel: Why am i different from them?


    His mother hugs him while crying herself.


    The Rainy day Samuel was born, it was not a normal birth. A C-section was done on mother for a safe birth of child. After more then a hour in surgery Samuel was born but when doctor saw his right feet the nurse got scared. Samuel was born with a feet twisted almost 180* backwards. They decided to keep the child away from mother to avoid postpartum depression. They were advised to show him to a good Pediatric orthopaedic surgeon. After all tests and reports a procedure was decided. Since Samuel was still young his bones had not hardened. so Doctor decided to twist his feet back the right way. But he was worried if young Sam could handle the pain. After the procedure was complete Samuel had to keep a plaster for 1 year. Long usage of plaster and the procedure to twist feet back in its actual position made his feet not regenerate any musceles near the area. Even after plaster was cut he had to wear walking shoes specially made for support. Samuel''s life was never going be same.
