Whenever Jason bought me a gift, I would always pick out something thoughtful to give him in return.
But this was who I had been from the very beginning. Nine years ago, when we first met, I was already like this.
I was the president of the student council. When Jason showed up late, I disciplined him according to the rules.
At first, he thought I was using it as an excuse to get his attention. Later, he realized I simply treated everyone the same.
I didn't even know who he was.
My days were split between lectures, the library, and work.
I wore glasses. I competed in countless debate tournaments and stood on countless stages to deliver speeches.
I spoke up for the vulnerable. I earned money as a private tutor and started helping support my family long before graduation.
