Have It Differently



It takes a sufferer to understand the condition of a downtrodden. George had been in orphanage homes and embraced the lives in the street, who aren't fortunate enough to live like he lives. Maybe they listened too much to the world, "you can't make it when you are physically incapacitated".
Come to think of it, George took his books seriously and had his papers with accolades. He disgusted the idea of going to an all entrepreneurial school, so he attended a normal school with the physically healthy ones. He had come home one day with the bid to write,just as his other mates, but his mom told him "George, I wish you well my son, but one can't always do all one wants. Writing is for people who can write". But when he imagined some lines in one of his friends' poem that read "I float with green in this black blanket/my joy as an African is as the Nile", he was made up on writing, and he did. He called Rita, his younger sister and when she entered, he said "I want you to come and write for me". She answered " let me get a pen and a paper, if a sheet would do". "yeah, it would, but by God's grace, we would have to get a whole note book". When she had brought the materials, his eyeballs looked to the ceiling, then he dictated "Get my mind off my flesh if it would do me good". Then he told her "go to the next line, he continued "let's see if I can run as if I were...no, no, no", he stopped her. "cancel that whole line, it has become prose instead! But he went on with it and became one of the best poets in his class.
That was how he started, yet he had similar difficulties in all his endeavors, but now he's become an expert. He is writer, a school counsellor, singer, pianist and a guitarist. However, he has helped alot of persons have meaning in life. Would you believe if you are told he is blind?
