At the age of five, Ben already showed signs of giftedness. I remember her mom saying, “I always see his room messy. I never understood it until one day.”
She added, “That day, I got angry because his mess already reached the living room. Of course, I couldn’t force him to clean them all up. He’s just a child. So I did the cleaning myself. When I went in, oh, it wasn’t good. There were pieces of wood, pebbles, scraps and anything else that could injure him! Anyway, I started cleaning Ben’s room. When I docked down and looked under his bed, I was tongue-tied for what I saw! They were wonderful!”
I asked, “What were wonderful?” Under his bed were a lot of unique artworks I’d like to call as handcrafted GIFTS.
