Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage.
Studying was a breeze for Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the
little effort that he had to put it. It begin when he was selected to help the
teachers in the computer laboratories.
The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school
but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else,
Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets
and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding
the robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the
competition. Its well us auspices competitor. Alicia, from a neighboring
school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar
anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she
told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He
even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with
the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia’s and
it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to do.
On the day of the competition, he says Alicia. Everything dawned
on her the minute she saw him among the competition. She stared at him, puzzled
at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.
The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel’s try. The robot
bird performed actions so unique and different that the specialist judgments
were the same. Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not even notice
the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never win the
competition.
