Woooooooooow, the story is really fascinating, I identified a lot with Mason, as he is a character who was always considered as different or strange, for different purposes and perhaps nobody understands.
Mason is quite a character, he is very curious in fact, the most curious thing is that he never let himself be dominated, he never let any comment frustrate his dreams, he knew what he wanted to do since he was a child, he trusted in his abilities, and if he had, a photographic memory is a quality that anyone could easily presume.
For Mason, knowledge was always first, always his priority, he had loving friendships, but as the story goes, none lasted more than a month, thanks to his insatiable desire to learn.
Mason's endless desire to learn more and more each day led him to get the highest score at Harvard, and from there to be a great student who even without being a graduate of several firms tried to drag him into their ranks, they saw in Mason an extremely great potential, and they were not wrong.
But that wouldn't last long, as soon as Mason met Mabel he saw in her the girl with whom he could share goals, dreams, desires, love and his life, certainly also his passion for learning and his profession, later he would realize that in fact if she was his girl, she was not wrong, but for Mason the bears flowed well, the outings with Mabel were getting better and better, and his growing desire to move forward together never waned.
There is something very special that transcends the friendship of Mabel and Mason, of so many things in common that had the strongest and most personal was that both were adopted, that gave rise to Mason to be encouraged to seek his biological parents, which incidentally the story stops when he meets his father.
Mason throughout history was a clear example of self-improvement, he reminded me of a phrase I say:
Only you know where you want to go and how you want to get there.
Excellent story @vcelier friend, greetings from Venezuela to you and to the whole community of @adsactly writers, you always read them, I will try to participate in the continuation of the story, I have ideas that could be taken into account and very good...
