01 : IDENTITY
This is a story about a boy named Luis.
Luis is a strong young man, maybe not physically; but emotionally. He is one who demands respect as he gives his respect, his motto. Respect is only given, when the other party respects. Some might say Luis is still young and immature, but only to some. His wisdom, is beyond his age. He is wise, because he is smart. He picks his words before he speaks, and he trust his words so much. That in his heart, the words are never out line. He isn't spoilt, he isn't rowdy. He went through tough phases in life, and only he understands the battle that goes on inside of him. He isn't actually a saint, but his intentions. Equal, as if a saint. He wants people to understand fairness, he wants the world to notice kindness. That is who he is, that is what he wants.
As any adolescent, Luis seek for an identity. Something that resembles him, something that is unique to who he is. Not what people say, what not people make him to be. He wants to build a reputation, that is ever so hard to keep. YET, only he can handle. At that time nothing ever says unique, than being the most popular kind guy at school. That was his aim, but that aim. Did not come on in easy, he was not even sure that he had an aim. And it all started, when he entered secondary school life.
Remeber the time when you just started secondary school? Some might get the same schools as their primary school friend, and then start to be bestfriends for life. For Luis, he starts as if he was primary 1. No old close friends to walk around with, just himself. The first time he entered class, no one approached him to be friends. And he felt like as if the world was against him, and to the him. It's an insult to his manhood, eventhough he was still a boy then.
