Meet Ghulam Sediq Wardak my new Afghan Idol.
My favorite quote from the article is:
As a youth, however, that curiosity led some to think he was either an idiot or mad. “Father and mother worried about me,” he says.Oh the good ol' days of my youth when my parents thought I was "intellectually challenged". Their solution? Send me to art workshops on Saturdays so that I might be able to make a living when I dropped out of school. WTF? Who sends their kids to learn art as a source of income?
On the other hand, maybe they wouldn't expect me to graduate in a timely fashion from a school like the UofC if they still thought I was retarded...
