Was

I was in three different schools for a total of 13 years, and I will continue to be in school for another 4 or more. I have changed into an entirely different person from the beginning of this journey of schooling, and I will probably feel like a completely different one by the end of it. I have had multiple different personalities depending on my age or maturity, which all contrast each other. I have made new friends and lost old one and will likely continue to make new ones and gradually lose old ones. I have learned countless new facts and pieces of information and forgotten much of it, and in some cases relearned it more than once. I have spent my time wisely and finished many assignments, but also wasted many days and weeks of time. I have been happy with my accomplishments and achievements and also wished that I had done more. I have spent much of my time playing different sports, but never really working at only one of them.

I was once a useless piece of meat that cried all the time and slept, but have now turned into something 10 times as big that is capable of abstract thought and making contributions to society. I have only lived a small portion of my potential life span, and yet somehow changed such a tremendous amount. I can't imagine what I will be like or who I will be with, or what I won't be like and who I won't be with. I can't wait for the future, yet I will likely wish that I could go back to the past. I am filled with wonder and hope at the thought of the future, yet it also brings fear and worry. I have lived a life of continuous change that has been influenced by my genetics and environment, and I will continuously change for the rest of my life. What will I become?

The first phrase that I think that I understood said something about to characters having a dialogue with each other. There is also a stamp on that same page. I think I saw the word "libertad" on another page, which means liberty or freedom in Spanish, so maybe he could speak Spanish? His notebook seems very disorganized and full of random thoughts, notes and ideas. I think he used this book to try to record his random thoughts and to promote creative ideas that he probably had randomly and on a regular basis, so I guess this reveals that he is create and disorganized about his creativity. He also seems to have a sense of humor because on a few pages (with some of the mysterious stamps) he drew pictures that incorporated the stamps into the pictures.

He didn't seem to just be a Spanish speaker through the use of the word libertad. It seems that he just happened to learn that one word exclusively and just used it as a symbol for something that he felt strongly about, and he eventually made a poem with the word in it. He also probably didn't actually draw any of the pictures in his notebook because he was not know to draw or doodle at all. Instead, one of his friends probably drew in his notebook, while they were drinking together because he would simply take it out, write in it and pass it around. Therefore, I was right about him just taking out the notebook randomly as ideas came to him. His notebook also has no form of concrete organization, so that backs up my original thought on him being disorganized.
