To get you started, here’s taking a sneak peek into some of the extraordinary confident moments of Sam Gardner’s life from Atypical!
A Presentation –
It was very evident to everyone in the classroom that Sam is very fond of penguins, but he never accepts this, or shares his admiration for the penguins with anyone. One fine day, he prepares a complete mix of media arts and goes up to the dais to give a stupendous presentation about his favorite animal. It was indeed an unpredictable moment for all.
A life-changing speech –
It was during the time when due to an issue Paige lost her voice and she was supposed to deliver a speech in her college. Here is when something unexpected happens. Sam took the charge confidently and stood by his love, which was indeed something a never-seen-before sight. Everyone was both shocked and happy to see his confident side when Sam gave the speech on behalf of Paige.
A soulful confession –
Paige was in awe of Sam when he came to support her in her convocation and delivered her valedictory speech in the college. Though his friends and everyone around clearly saw his feelings for her, he was not very sure. This speech delivery gave Sam a logical reason to accept his feelings for Paige. He then decides to pour his heart out and expresses his love to her with a sweet and innocent proposal.
A silent disco –
Sam is not really a fan of music, clubbing, or fancy clothes and it was evident to everyone in his friend circle. Even Paige was aware of his reservations with loud parties. However, just to complete her wish to go out for an evening, Sam agrees to visit a discotheque. Paige chooses to make the evening special for Sam as well by taking him to a silent disco. He appreciates her effort and joins her in creating some beautiful, fun memories. This was yet another brave and confident move on his part.
Tune into Comedy Central and rejoice in more such moments of pride featuring Sam Gardner, on 2nd April, 6 am onwards!
