Different Personality
His strange hobby of collecting antiques did not make him popular with his classmates. Many of the boys teased him. Some girls felt sorry for him and tried to befriend him because he was intelligent and got good grades.
This never bothered Mark at all. He was quite content with his books. His father would have liked him to be more like other boys but Mark wasn’t interested in playing childish games. His father would soon realize that his son’s talents were not wasted.
