Never in a million years would you guess....

Not many people know this about me, but i thought, since i have started this blog so people CAN know about me and what affects i intend on having in the world, i would tell you. My father was a musician and wool trader who had had big plans for me since i was little. He wanted me to grow up and practice in medicine because he knew how well paying it was. When i was 11 my parents sent me to a Jesuit monastery to get the best education. Four years later when i was 15 and came home i told my father i wanted to be a monk! My father was very angry so i eventually withdrew from my dream, but soon found a new one, in the sky and the stars. To this day i thank my father for pressuring me away from one dream but leading me to another. I often think of what my life and history would be like without me.
