The police, skeptical of my parents’ claims, visited my school, unannounced and out of uniform to avoid drawing attention. They reviewed the records and found that I had participated in all my classroom activities and even the inter-house sports competition.
After that incident, my parents decided it would be best for me to stay with my grandmother to shield me from further trouble. In the neighborhood, other kids were forbidden to play with me. I became a lone ranger, constantly to myself, and avoided like a leper from the days of Jesus. Though I disliked the idea of leaving, I had no choice.
At the time, I thought my parents hated me, but I later realized they loved me deeply and saw potential in me. They provided everything I needed to succeed. I once believed they were overprotective, only to understand they were equipping me with tools to reach the top while ensuring I had the parental protection every child needs.
Not long after I left, an armed robbery occurred at a wealthy home and hotel in the neighborhood. Once again, all fingers pointed at me. I was summoned by the police to return and answer their questions. Despite the accusations, I remained composed, which led the neighborhood to claim, “He’s not even scared of the police.”
