VIP Class Notes (Nicholas) [S]

Original

You know I my life have many problems for now but I think I can find the answers for this problem by myself so if really had to get advice for me. Because I think my age and he age – my dad is 55 years old and if have some problems for us we think its difficult. My dad I think maybe is too old to talk about of this If I have some problems maybe I will ask older than me maybe 5 or 10 years old people maybe 35 years old and they can maybe teach me something, not older people.

When Iw as young I’m very shy, you know my study is not very good. And I’m always – if you watching many boys in here, you’re never going to find me. I don’t know what I want to do I just want to play with my friend so once days I think maybe I need learning some and maybe I should working very tough, maybe I’m graduation the university.

You know in my life I have many problems for now / currently but I think I can find the answers for these problems by myself so if I really need advice I don’t know how I would go to. Because I think my age and his age are so different – my dad is 55 years old and if we face similar problems we will look at it differently. My dad I think maybe is too old to talk about of this. If I have some problems maybe I will ask someone that is older than me by maybe 5 or 10 years. I would ask an older  person that it is  maybe 35 years old and they can maybe teach me something, not someone that is really old.

When I was young I was very shy, you know my grades were not very good. And in a room full of boys I wouldn’t stand out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do I just wanted to play with my friends so one days I thought maybe I need to learn something and maybe I should work harder, maybe when I graduated from university.
