In life everything is like being on the road, and we never know what is up ahead.
Everything I have learned in my life have shaped the person I am today.

During their study time I was always around and listening and repeating everything I could hear. After a while my parents realized that I could even read by myself since I knew even the alphabet. From all their study time I memorized too, and was trying to imitate them sometimes even singing the songs they used to learn. From the memories that I can still have from those days I remember that really enjoyed it. Sometimes I was repeating after them just like any child would. At times it was funny, and I was even laughing when doing it, since in my mind the meanings were not clear
