Thought to be very quiet and not as intelligent as his mates.
Believed to be that kid who would just finish primary school and not further because of his background and current position in class.
I've personally struggled to get along with him due to how reserved he is and the language barrier.

But patience pays after all!

Meet the finest artist in my class. Respected by some of his classmates for his ability to recreate what he sees on paper. My boy is one for the future. I discovered this ability just last week and today nominated him to lead a team of pupils to enter an art fare. I look forward to cementing a bond with him whilst working with him. I want to push him till the only he sees, thinks, feels and knows is success. He wore a smile and like a fine perfume, all who crossed paths with him, had a feel of the aura.

Every child is gifted; the gift of some are found on the surface and the others buried deep in their innards. You have to dig it up no matter how long it will take you.

PS: Do not expect every child to excel in a specific area. The 21st century teacher must embrace the plethora of intelligence that abound in the classroom and find a way to course each of these intelligence to greatness. The vision should be to inspire and not to discourage sparks of excellence.
