This is kind of random, but I'm curious.


Well, there's no real story to this, but I learned to read when I was two. My first book was "Hop on Pop" by Doctor Suess. All my siblings so far have read from this book as their first book. And thats all there is to that story.

Ever since I was 7 my teacher noticed that I had an amazing ability for Maths. I've built on that, and I did an early GCSE in Statistics when I was 13 (Year 2004), and got a grade A*, the following year I got A* in GCSE Maths, and earlier this year, I got a grade A in Advanced Level Mathematics (That's A2, not AS).

I'm from England by the way.

I could always draw very well. When I was two years old, I could hold a pencil properly. Also, I had a very extended vocabulary, and possessed an excellent memory...still do, actually.

I drew really well when I was young, ever since I drew loads of drawings and I'm still drawing today and I'm improving!

I too learned to read very early, and I was writing long, complex stories with narrative arc and advanced vocabulary in the second grade. I also memorized the names of all the reptiles and amphibians in North America from a field guide at around the same age.
I was never very good at music, though. Although I wish I was. I took piano lessons for eight years, and I still play, but without any particular inspiration or special talent.

I did numbers in my head amazingly quick, I knew every number times every number from 1-15... like you could throw uh, 12x12, and I'd immediatly say 144. Of course now I'm in high school and that's all changed. But you know.

I don't really remember back then too well, but my mom has told me my kindergarten teacher used to tell her that I could be working on one thing and still pay attention to what she was saying at the same time, something no other kid could do then. I also had exceptional reading skills, reading harry potter 1-4 in either 1st or 2nd grade.

I've always had a talent for writing and coming up with stories ever since I can remember. My mom says I'm just as good as any professional writer.
