Interestingly, we both graduated from the same institution, I was entering the first year when he was starting the fifth, maybe we crossed paths in a hallway, but we never saw each other.

If you could go back, what experience would you relive?

The high school where I studied maintained good discipline, I didn't miss many classes, however, one time, I don't remember why, they suspended the activities and the classmates, with whom I always went, decided that we should walk home. It would be about two hours of walking through the center of the city. It was a fun trip, we were laughing, singing, without any pressure of any kind, or worrying about getting home late, because they had brought us back early in the afternoon. It was very nice but it was never repeated. We always took a bus.

No. I was a business graduate, I was supposed to pursue higher studies in accounting, administration or similar; but when I did the internship, in the fifth year, I discovered that that wasn't my thing, I was always very uncomfortable with being sent.

Finally, I studied to be a teacher of Spanish and Literature and it was the best.

How have you changed since high school?

I am definitely different, my stage fright and difficulty in relating to other people has changed completely, it doesn't mean that I have become extroverted, but I don't give it much importance. My power of decision makes me freer from pressure or prejudice.

If you could travel back in time and tell your teenage self something, what would you say?

I would tell him that everything is fine, that there is no need to worry about trivial things, that it is okay to do what you please without being accountable to third parties, that everything is fine with me and I don't need to be someone else to make anyone happy and that I can make my own decisions.
