What goes around comes around.
In junior high school I had "problems' ' with the math teacher because I was the worst in the class. He used to tell me it was a fortune that I knew the difference between 1, 2 and 3 or it was a miracle that I could make ads. I had to stand this for a year and by the end of this I had failed the subject . Of course my parents had known everything about this situation and they went to talk to the principal, he had been thinking that it was all my fault but my classmates told him the things he used to say in front of them about me, and other students in different grades where the same situation had also happened. In the end, I passed the extraordinary exam.I kept studying and improving my skills in math. In high school I participated in a math competition and I was in the top ten competitors list . Finally, I finished my degree in engineering of energy and petroleum. Thanks to mygrades and skills I collaborated with a laboratory for my thesis project, and my ex teacher was fired and his license to be a teacher was withdrawn. The point of this is I never did something bad to him, and he treated me badly, and many people thought that it was my fault, even my parents; but the time shows that I always tell the truth, and It could sound bad, but the life gave him back what he did to myself and other students, in a very bad way because he ended up losing his teaching licence.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
When I was a child my parents gave me a little money for school ($2.50) every day. Of course It was not enough, because like any kid I wanted candies and junk food, so I started a “business “ in class.
I had started to “give money with interest”, so I lent money and in exchange I charged .50 cents for each day that elapsed. With this money I could buy candies and junk food like sabritas, and the sabritas had “tazos” and all the kids wanted me to share my snacks, so later I was selling them, and I was very happy because when the school was finally over, I was running to eat my food cravings, which honestly there were completely prohibited to me, so I truly believe that necessity is the mother of inventionWednesday, 30 June 2021
“YOU CANNOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER”
One day, when I was still working, I met a girl who seemed extremely smug, and had a puffed up sense of her own importance, her posture…
As the days passed, having talked to her, I had to admit that she was without a doubt sympathetic, people person and honestly trustworthy. When we had already started to be friends I told her my frightful first impression of her, she told me that now many people appreciate her, even when they had said the same thing to her.
Since then, we have been best friends.
