As a child, I was always in distress. My home didn't feel like home. My childhood was just a whirlwind. Because of this background, I became very prudent at very early age. I found my frinds in the class immature, which actually is supposed to be since they were literally kids. I was able to share musings getting grasp of big pictures rather than being pedantic, when the friends were pouting about not getting enough video game times. It was around 10years ago I met her in the school. Ms.M was pretty insightful and she noticed that I was acting a little differently. After class she would make me stay in the classroom and ask some questions about me and my family. I thought she had nerve that she was asking about something that isn't within normal social boundary. But this actually upended my life and all my perspective. because of her unwavering support for me to persue my dream and a normal life, I put a pin in being grumpy towards her and finally opened up with her. I was so used to having high heart palpitaion out of random, surprisingly, I was able to cure this talking a lot with her. She's not one of those fabled historians of something, still I give her name whenever I get asked who I admire the most. The whole process was pretty painstakingly difficult. But she set me on end, with rudimentary knowledge.
I only have the most rudimentary grasp of the language. My knowledte is only rudimentary.
