Honestly, yeah, I had this type of situation when you have difficult decisions and you have to choose, you have to make decisions, and I've had a lot of these kinds of difficult decisions, and most of them I made on my own, so I can perfectly say that now I can be myself. And I had one difficult decision that would completely change my whole life. I mean, really my whole life. And I had to choose, I had to make decisions fast, because my parents and other people put me in a kind of embarrassing and pressure situation. It was choosing the major. Yeah, after ninth grade, I switched to tenth grade, and I had to choose three choices: chemistry and biology, physics and history. I didn't even know which one to choose. I was just a kid that just talks about playing video games or just wasting time. I wasn't ready for this decision, but nobody could help me. So after approximately 48 hours, I made this decision. I talked about it every night, I didn't sleep, so I made the decision, and I chose chemistry.
