Right from the moment of birth, I was unlike many other kids. For example, I never took baby steps. Instead, I just stood up and ran. When I was thirteen months old, the most unforgettable event happened. I woke up in the middle of the night and recited the letters continuously. My mother heard this and was very impressed. The night after the letter incident, I recited numbers from one to twenty. Again, my mother heard this and was shocked. The, she made Power Point slides with a letter stretched on it. I excelled at it! Soon I not only learned letters, but also numbers, colors, and shapes; all mastered in one week. It is like preschool in a week. Later my mom taught me words. Within one week, I have gotten a full vocabulary of sight words. When I was eighteen months old, I did arithmetic. I could add, subtract, multiply and divide.
About the age of two, I was able to read simple picture books with one or two sentences on each page. Ever since, I have always loved books. I even enjoyed workbooks before the age of two! By the age of three, I was a fluent reader. My favorite books were Dr. Suess books. I was also fascinated about prime numbers.
But later, something really bad happened. My parents sent me to school because everyone goes there. I never liked the place. But don't get me wrong! My parents still homeschooled me because I was there for only two hours until one day my parents decided to pull me out of the school and homeschool me But there was one good thing that happened as a result of me going to school. The violin. For a long time, my parents wanted me to play an instrument, and I chose the violin because they school introduced me to violin. I still play violin now, and I am currently preparing for the ABRSM and NYSSMA exams.
After leaving school, I continued Pre-algebra then Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus and now I am learning calculus (by the way I am only 11).
