BEING AN ALIEN

Most of the time at school, I walked around in a state of confusion. I did not understand a lot of what people were talking about. Theories, definitions, and statements were part of another world that everyone else belonged to except me.
I was a foreigner in the classroom, not understanding the language.
Today, as and old man, I remain confused but I realize that being an alien has become my biggest asset. My view of life is completely different than anyone else’s. I’m able to identify problems and solutions before anyone else.
So... I am thankful for my weakness that became my strength.
