He realized he was going to be all alone, that all the money he made was of no importance, his older daughter never spoke to him ever since. He decided to quit it all and become a teacher, so he could at least meet his younger daughter. Right now he teaches at night because he’s all alone, he has time, but no one to be with.

I was alone with him, before class, he was asking questions about myself, in three minutes, without me telling anything he realized I wasn’t happy working in a desk, progressing, although that is what most people strives for, he told me: Why don’t you do blue-color instead? I told him no one would hire me, I had no experience in that field. He told me not to make the same mistakes he did, I was still young, to do not follow the money, but it’s very hard not to.
