Maverick...
I'd dreamed of MIT since 5th grade. I had books, pets and Legos who could want anything more. I was a very interesting kid, I would often try to engage kids my age but was often teased a ridiculed because I was a "did you know" type.

Meaning, if we were playing outside and we saw a bug I would go into a "did you know" monologue.

I remember my mom would often tell her friends, "Maverick is so smart, he's going to be great, when we named him Maverick we knew he was something special."

To a kid being smart, great and special was the kiss of death. Kids just wanted to be normal, fit in, have friends and not be bullied that was the extent of what we wanted.

By third grade I noticed the difference I was smarter. I could remember everything. If I saw it I had it, I could recite any thing that I read or heard especially when I concentrated on it. Once, I realized that I could remember things it was fun in the beginning, but then the migraines started.

If I took in too much information it was like sensory over load. I was home school until 9th grade, I would often go to museums, college lectures, seminars and sometimes I would even go with my father to some of his business meetings.

During my freshmen year of school our family lost a lot of money in the stocks and we had to regroup as my father called it. We moved from our old neighborhood near Madison University and moved into a medium income neighborhood to rebuild our life it was about two hours away.

For my sister and I it was really hard to make the adjustments. We went from a maid, gated community, swimming pool, home schooling to public school, public pool, and a small townhouse that we called the box.

It was during that time of our lives that we found the value of friendship and community. Our parents never allowed us to talk about where we came from and what we had because they wanted us to be excepted.

I went into 9th grade having mastered Spanish, Mandarin, Chinese, and French, mostly I taught myself. I had mastered Calculus and Trigonometry, but wanting to fit in I dumbed down.

Although, I was homeschool I did have test scores and grades, but they had no were to place me so, I was in Advance placement classes and I was advanced two grades. Once I was advanced two grades that's when I met my brothers. We are all rather smart and talented.

The schools in our neighborhood was okay but we all qualified as gifted kids so we were bused 15 miles to an all Gifted School. So each day Flex, Brian, Bishop, Avery, Donavan and I would cut up on the bus, in cafeteria, and anywhere else we choose to, but when it came down to school it was no stopping us. We decided after the Blood Pact that we were all going to be rich.

So we are still working towards being rich. Flex, and Brian graduated from Marx University with MBAs. Donavan graduated from Richmond University with a degree in Automotive Science and Technologies, Avery and I are in the 6 year PHd program at Madison University and Bishop graduated just last year from Hillman University with an MBA.

It was never my intentions to attend MU I wanted to go to MIT but my father was an alumni of MU and he insisted that my sister and I follow in his footsteps so here we are.

During my senior year I was approached by the CIA who was on campus looking for new recruits. I was unaware that the CIA recruited at college campuses. I was taken to an offsite facility, it was a non-descriptor building.

When I arrived I was escorted by two agents with a white curtain around me and a red light flashing. A little confused about the level of security I asked the escort why was all of this necessary, but I was told that I had no clearance, and I was an unknown, so the location had to be kept secrete, hence the white curtain, and the red flashing light.
