I was an ordinary child. Nothing peculiar or strange about me, in my personality or appearance. But I was unusually smart for my age. But my parents call it a gift , not an unusual factor about me. An advantage 'more like'. She always talked about me going to a thing called 'University' and getting lots of money afterwards with a suitable profession. As a child i dismissed her excitement and enthusiasm of this, Mothers were always like this I guessed.I didn't understand what University was then , so why would I care? I had a strong interest in Geography and History. When other children were outside playing, I'd read books and atlases' , dreaming of faraway lands and spectacular adventures I'd have there.

By the time I was 10 we had been Every Continent, fulfilling my every desire. Every year I'd look at the Globe we had in the living room , I'd pick a country and we'd go there. It was expensive, but we travelled cheap, trying to spend as little money as possible. My mother always used to say , "we are going to see a place, not buy a place." What she meant was that we weren't there to buy souvenirs. "A Memory of a place , is the best souvenir" She always said.

Naturally all of my peers were envious of my exploits, and I would get bullied. Nothing was done of this at the Primary School I attended. The Teachers and Parents were jealous too, so they dismissed my unhappiness and the so called taunting I got from other children as , "Attention Seeking".

Both of my Parents were short, so therefore so was I, so when I started Seconday School I looked much Younger. But this didn't stop me , I made new friends and slowly adjusted.

That year tradition was tradition and I picked a place I wanted to go.

Scouring the globe spinning it around and around. I stopped it , and thought of a book I read about this place, it's old charm and cobbled streets.

"Mum , I'd like to go here .."

Then pointing my bony finger at the destination on the Globe.

"Volterra , Italy."
