My Brother Started It

Some people are notable in that they are tall, strong or fast. Alex's exceptional aspect seems to be in the way he works with people. At the end of the school day they release the students in reverse age order, and Alex goes to greet his brother each day.

He did this on Friday, but he also decided to instigate the "O-H" "I-O" cheer; one person yells "O-H" and everyone responds "I-O." Alex ending up whipping the entire school into a frenzy as they marched out. He had fifth graders not only following his lead, but coming over to give him fist bumps as the school exuded an electric atmosphere that will not be soon forgotten. Michael's gifts are different, but he recognizes his brother's talents, and even bragged to a kid, Colin, who was in awe, "My brother started it."
