"Sparkle, quick take a look before my data runs out."

Mom always jumped up like pigeon whenever she saw one of our neighbors kids on Tiktok and she just love comparing me to other kids who showed off their talents on social media. 

"Did you hear her voice, she is definitely going be a star one day. Don't you want to be a star? All these books you're reading is not going to make you famous."

"Books give you knowledge ma- there is nothing more important than knowledge."

"We should be proud that our daughter is a genius."

"Shhhh, do you want everyone to know that our daughter is a Miss know it all? You know Mr. Mafia runs this town, if he finds out that she can calculate sums faster than him- we will be humiliated in front the entire community."

Hello everyone, I am Sparkle from the Philippines, please like and subscribe to STA, where the best story telling is made.

Because I was a born genius, my teachers loved me to bits and sometimes even let me lead their classes. I simply loved books, learning and teaching other kids, but not everyone was interested in books in my home town. Being popular on social media was what everyone wanted.
