>>19252169I went to a poor elementary and middle school in Greece with shit teachers so my foundations are fucked, I have a hard time doing basic math or even spelling some words in Greek, but I knew and understood a lot, I was just understimulated and depressed. My younger years were hell on earth since I had nowhere to redirect all my energy do. Eventually mom bought me my first contact with technology and the outside world: a WiiU. Of course it had parent controls. And course I used social engineering on my mom to find the password. I didn't know it had a name then. So I spent most of my nights online absorbing the worlds information and the insights it had to offer. I still hated math, I still hated school, I was still a bad student, the damage was already done in that department, but I had an out. A reason not to stop exploring. What remained untouched by the vegetating hand of the education system was English. I naturally became fluent and I passed both the Cambridge and Michigan proficiency exams. But I was still a kid without guidance, I would just look up whatever interested me at the moment and any learning that happened along the way was purely passive and coincidental.
I think on a lot of ways I'm wasted potential and it hurts thinking about it. If only I was born in a functioning country, if only I wasn't surrounded by retards, if only I had a stable environment and not a dumb bitch of a single mother one can do nothing but feel sorry for, if only my dad took me to Canada with him and went to school there, but nooooo the MOTHER has to always get the child and fuck it up permanently even if the father could offer it an infinitely better life.
