"My brother Donald is very special to me, he showed me how to stand up for yourself. In middle school he struggled academically, but when testing his IQ was well beyond genius level. The conclusion was he was bored at school. But nonetheless they refused to allow him to opt-out of classes, and self-learn. My brother stood up to all of this, and ignored them. Under threats of flunking out, being held back he continued to self-learn. It was only when he became published in the 8th grade did the school realize they were not treating him the way he needed to be." - Peter
