I think at that time in school you did the right thing. In those harsh conditions the first thing was to survive and to do that you had to present yourself as a stronger and bolder boy. I had problems because I was always the smallest and the big boys would play practical jokes on me.
With this topic you give me the opportunity to reflect on some mistakes I made in my years as a young man. Happy day dear @ericvancewalton . A big hug from Maracay.

Thank you my friend! I think we all do the best we can in the moment. It's easy to look back and have regrets but the younger me just saw the world differently. I'm looking forward to your entry this week!
