School... a stage in my life where I also learned things that are not deliberately taught. I was very studious. So many things were happening at home that I felt I had to bring some joy, and my life was all about studying and getting good grades, but that led to my classmates treating me very badly, too badly.
I went to a Catholic school... they wanted me to think like them, to be submissive... they didn't succeed. I became someone who questions, who thinks for herself and who doesn't blindly believe what they tell me. I learned to trust myself and what that inner voice was telling me. I learned that a friend is not someone who is there in bad times; it's easy to say, ‘Poor thing...’ A friend is someone who is there in good times, rejoicing in your success.
