History is full of stories of people who were talented and even gifted. Even then they were overlooked by many of their peers until someone believed in them.

A good example is Alexander Hamilton. He was born in Nevis, the West Indies, to an unmarried mother. Somehow he found his way to America. He was introduced to George Washington who made him a part of his Revolutionary Army. He served so faithfully that Washington eventually named him to be his Secretary. He was valiant in the War and later served as George Washington’s Secretary of the Treasury.

George Washington believed in him and he exceeded George’s expectations.

Others who were similarly overlooked were Albert Einstein who was four before he could speak and seven before he could read. But look what became of him.

Isaac Newton did poorly in school. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney saying he had not good ideas. Beethoven seemed slow and plodding and a man without talent!

So you see, you may just need someone to believe in you, and you must need to believe in someone you are acquainted with. Keep up the good spirits!
