He had ancient and unrealistic beliefs and always limits himself with irrelevant arguments. Simply a weird newbie for the classmates. Still, Liam was a happy, confident and outspoken teenager. He might not attract pretty girls and cool boys of the class with his words and appearance, but unlike other teenagers he had long term goals and a vision to contribute something to the mankind. A sixteen years old with average percentage and below average looks had a mountain of challenges awaiting him to obtain the dream of his life. He knew that success was not really impossible, but difficult. Moreover, he came all the way to Boston from North Carolina just for this novel purpose.

After a year of hardship finally he built a prototype with the help of study materials, resources and Miss Miller to present in the long awaited Global talent competition for young motivated individuals. The prototype demonstrates the relationship between human genome with genome of soil to measure the sustainability. Although, metagenomic was not really a new topic to discuss, his attempt of specifying every individual microorganisms was relatively less expensive and approaches were different. He checked everything thoroughly again a day before the final presentation with the mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness. While heading back to the room an unexpected event not only changed his mind, but also the prospect of life.
