Don't miss it and order your copy now My name is Jonathan and I am gifted. Albert Einstein was understood by only a dozen people in the whole world. Nobody understands me. In other words, I must have a super beastly brain. In addition to having this super brain, I am a person that people like. I am very well liked by the people who are lucky enough to know me. As I am also super altruistic. And because of the latter, I decided to make this diary to let the world know the future Nobel Prize in Physics. If I am nine years old now, I estimate that I will win the Nobel in four or five years. I am devoting all my efforts to winning the Nobel Prize. That's why I don't get out of elementary school. Well, that and because the teachers have it in for me. In this diary I explain, among other things, how I did a school homework with Andy that deserved a A+ and I got a F because they have it in for me; how they forced me to dress up one day to go to class against my will because they have it in for me; how they forced me to go see my brother explain his pathetic jokes in a seedy place; how I let out some insignificant farts in class and the thing was magnified; how my mother found me a friend more idiot than my brother and that's hard, very hard; how I was unjustly expelled from School for a week because they have it in for me; how they found me a review teacher for a super genius like me, but since she was a blonde with blue eyes, my brother wanted me to give him the review classes; how I survived a day at the zoo with my brother next to me and his relatives in cages; or how I almost drowned in swimming class, while nobody lifted a finger to help me, not even the lifeguard, and my mother had to save me in front of the whole class.
