That is when they realised almost everyone got it wrong. Still, the parents were relieved because for years they knew something could be done but all the specialists had concluded based on their experience that Martin's fate was sealed.
Martin was born in the suburbs of Leeds in the North of England. He had a normal childhood but was known as quiet and shy compared to his siblings and children of his age. Unlike his peers, Martin couldn't speak clearly till the age of 11 even then only those close to him could understand what he was saying most of the time. Martin spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital where he visited several specialists. He had all manner of diagnostics and medication was his companion. At school, as you can imagine, Martin was put in a different set because he was classified as a 'Child with special needs'.  Normally, being special is something we cherish but not this kind. In other words, Martin wasn't deemed to be normal at all. Martin struggled at school and other children couldn't help themselves but be cruel to him. He had a short attention span and struggled to remember anything. For instance, he could be introduced to a word and 5 minutes later when quizzed about it, he would have forgotten. In most of his lessons, Martin would be in a world of his own, not paying much attention to what was happening around him. At home, things were a little better as he was given the freedom to be himself and explored what he liked. But Martin would keep to himself because in his words 'everyone thought I was cursed'. Unfortunately, nobody had noticed another aspect of his life he excelled at. For example, Martin was very good at drawing and that's something he did while left alone. He loved reading although most of the time he probably didn't understand what the stories were about, but nothing would deter him. As life would have it, something changed for Martin when he left school at 16 with barely any qualifications. Martin's uncle Joseph an educator whose application for a visa to visit the UK had been denied 7 times finally got approval. Joseph noticed something, whenever a discussion about football came up, Martin lit up like he would literally become somebody else. Through that short visit, Joseph started working with his nephew and things got a little better. With Martin's parent's blessing, Joseph took Martin back to Africa. As soon as they landed, Martin changed, like he came alive. He loved the environment and progressed dramatically in every facet of his life. Within 4 years, Martin completed his international baccalaureat with amazing grades in Math, Science and English. While in Africa, Martin followed the premier league whenever he had the luxury to have access to it. He built his predictive model using Excel and would discuss his predictions with whoever would care to listen to him. Most of the time he got the predictions wrong but his passion for the beautiful game and math kept him going. Reluctantly, Martin had to go back to the UK. Joseph had to convince him there were better opportunities for Martin back in the UK.  Martin got an admission to the University of Leeds where he graduated with a first-class honour degree in Mathematics. Upon graduation, Martin landed a role as a data scientist in the wonderful city of London. Within 18 months at the firm, Martin went from graduate to senior data scientist. His colleagues are amazed by what he does. Not bad for someone with a broken brain, don't you think? I don't know what you have been told, or what you have been labelled as. There's a place for you. With patience and experimenting, you will find what works for you. When you do, the rest will be history as they say.
