Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage．Studying was a breeze for Nigel．The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put it．It begin when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories．

　　The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition．Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them．Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding the robot．It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition．Its well us auspices competitor．Alicia, from a neighboring school．His early intentions were forgotten．Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else．Nigel decided to befriend Alicia．Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition．He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot．He was glad with the way things had progressed．His robot looked even better than Alicia’s and it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to do．

　　On the day of the competition, he says Alicia．Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competition．She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her．

　　The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel’s try．The robot bird performed actions so unique and different that the specialist judgments were the same．Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him．Without her, he would never win the competition．
