Have you seen a musician who plays virtually all musical equipment to the satisfaction of all and yet cannot differentiate or finds it difficult to read road signs properly. That was the state of Jennie, a fifth grade student who usually represents her school in any music concert.

In one of the occasions, she was directed to use the school bus to attend one of the music competition which she did. When they got to the traffic 🚦 light section the light turned amber and Jennie looked intently at the driver who seemed not too bothered and drove across traffic light

Jennie felt that the driver had broken the law by not respecting the traffic 🚦 road signs. the driver took time tos.explain these basic road signs to her.

Upon their return, same spot, the light turned amber and the driver continued. Jennie felt bad again that he did not stop. The driver reminded her that he had earlier explained to her these rudimentary road signs but she has forgotten them already. How can an intelligent girl like you forget so easily, the driver queried. It was then that it dawned on hint at Jennie could be liked to a talented idiot.

I've seen kids who excel in one area but struggle in another - Jennie's experience with music and traffic signs is a great example of how our brains can specialize in different areas.

You are right. Some people are just like that. Thanks for stopping by
