A childhood belief about i'm different

When I was young, I was blessed with a very good memory. At 5 I was able to remember and recite poems, songs, and stories after only hearing them once. I could play checkers with the best of them. Because of this gift, I believed that I was not of this world. I believed that I would not grow old like people of earth. I believed that when I got big, I would be stronger than people of earth. I believed that when I got bigger, I would have special powers, like closing my eyes and seeing what was happening somewhere else. I also believed that when I got big, I would be able to leave my bed and go outside and play. Then, I turned 6!
