Decent Essays
Amare, an 8 year old boy, is phenomenal in learning. He knows so much, like reading and writing at a young age, he knew all the states at 5 and knew multiplication at 3. He is also blind. He is missing an optic nerve in his eye, causing him to lose his sight. That doesn’t hold him back, though. He is in the top 10 of 310 kids his age in reading and writing. He is now in a competition where he can win a cool braille reading device, where he can read any book he wants. But he says he would rather have a boat. He also gets to go to Universal Studios, and go swimming.
His parents are very proud of him. His teacher is also very proud. She’s been his teacher since Kindergarten at Eastover elementary for braille work. He is so smart and his parents
