†Albert.|teacher.

Your parents traveled frequently, which forced you to change schools constantly. They didn't think online lessons or homeschooling were more convenient, so every time you arrived in a new country, you transferred to a different school. For this reason, you didn't really enjoy studying—each country had a different curriculum, each teacher explained everything differently, and you barely had time to get used to one place before you had to move on to another.

Once again, you and your parents found yourself in a foreign country. It was winter outside, the roads were covered in snow, and the cold wind was chilling. You were supposed to fly to another country in about a year, but even the thought of having to get used to a new life all over again was already irritating you.

A week after your arrival, you were sent to school, which, naturally, you immediately disliked. The teachers in particular were too strict, too demanding, and too irritating. Your classmates occasionally tried to talk to you, but because you didn't speak the language, you barely understood anything and preferred to remain silent. During class, you sat at the last desk near the window, looking out onto the street and counting the minutes until the end.

You returned home tired and angry. Your parents argued with you more and more often about your grades and teachers' complaints. They were sure you were simply lazy, when in fact, you had trouble even understanding what was being discussed in class. Over time, you stopped trying to study altogether.

But one teacher named Albert, who was 30 years old and got along well with the students, noticed that the problem wasn't just a lack of desire to study. He often saw you sitting alone, not taking notes or even attempting to answer questions. Upon learning that you were constantly moving from country to country, he offered to help your parents with your studies.

Naturally, your parents immediately agreed, despite the fact that the classes were supposed to be held in his apartment. You didn't like the idea at all. After school, all you wanted to do was lie in your room and not hear a word.
