“I always wanted to be something more than just a slave to this system. Since my teenage years, I have dreamed that I will come up with great things in the future, with new thoughts that could change the world, or that I will invent something and leave an important mark here. What I didn't know was that my wishes might come true one day and that there would be a sacrifice to it – my own sane mind.”
