The seven-year-old with exceptional talents
Seven-year-old Samiun Alim Saad of Kaliganj is a gifted student. He can solve complicated geometry and algebra problems, and draw maps of different countries in a matter of minutes.
When Saad was just two years old, he could recite the Bangla and English alphabets. At the age of three, he wanted to read English books. He finished reading all books of his sister, who was in the tenth grade. Born in 2014, he enrolled into the first grade in 2020. He moved on to the second grade in 2021.
However, as he was confined to his house due to the pandemic for nearly two years, he finished studying textbooks of the first and second grades in two to three days. He also acquired a good command over the English language.
In addition, he enjoys reading about planets and the human body. He illustrates maps of different countries, depicting their geographical positions in the world, alongside the mountains, volcanoes, and oceans around them.
He is also well-informed about stars, satellites, earthquakes, as well as the positions and distances of the planets from one another. He can illustrate the positions of the frontiers of certain countries.
"As Saad wanted to read English books from the age of three, I downloaded some English language learning apps on my phone. He learned the Bangla and English alphabets from those. He learned Arabic the same way, and he can read the Quran," smiles Saad's mother, Aysha Aktar Charli. "He likes listening to lectures of famous scientists and orators on YouTube. By the age of five, he knew extensively about planets and many other complex topics. He uploads his own videos about space, mathematics, and science on YouTube too."
Saad wants to be a scientist, mathematician, or space researcher in the future.
