A student of the Recife Municipal School, one of the largest cities in Brazil, touched Twitter users with his desire for knowledge. I am sure that with such ingenuity, a 10-year-old student will have brilliant prospects.
Guillermo Santiago is in the fifth grade. The boy’s family has very modest incomes, besides, there are two other kids besides him. The child gained popularity with the light hand of the staff of the central electrical goods store.
Employees noticed that a boy with a school backpack regularly visits their outlet. Every time he stops at the counter with smartphones. In addition to the fact that the child «tests» the phone, he also makes notes in a notebook. One day a manager approached Santiago and asked what exactly he was looking for.
To which the boy replied that he was given homework every day, and at home he had neither gadgets nor Internet access. In a municipal school, where there are only a dozen tablets for three hundred children, it is unrealistic to wait in line to do homework. The store’s employees appreciated the motivation of the diligent child and offered to come after school without hindrance, and instead of a phone, they were allowed to use a more convenient tablet.
When the video publication collected over twelve million views, Guillermo’s entrepreneurial spirit was discovered by parents who did not suspect that their son had managed to independently establish the learning process. By the way, thanks to the popularity of the tweet about the little smart guy, the store management decided to support his, worthy of respect, desire to learn.
Now Santiago has his own personal tablet and home internet to study comfortably. In addition, the point of sale also took over the payment for English and computer literacy lessons.
