The boy was happy to listen to what his mother had to say. He was happy that the teachers thought of him as someone great. This worked as a great motivation for him in his childhood days.

 He was looking for something in an old cupboard. He found his mother’s old belongings. He felt nostalgic and opened her suitcase. He wanted to see what was inside. While looking into a few things, he saw a piece of paper folded inside one of her clothes.

He was awestruck to see the note. It was the same note the teacher of his first school gave to his mother. It said, “Your child is not normal. He is mentally ill and needs medical attention. Please admit him to a special school or teach him at home. He is not allowed to pursue education in our school.”
