I was not convinced of many things. I was told many things when I was little. I was told how to be patient. Particularly for things that I wish I had.

I had wanted to have that elaborate crayon collection or the latest play station games just like the kid of our neighbors. They called it irresponsible for the parents did not instill or at least intend to instill what they were tiling in my character. Patience.
