What you need to do now is make a strategic choice.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re sitting at the kitchen table.<br>Mum\u2019s doing the talking.<br>Dad\u2019s keeping quiet.<br>I\u2019m boiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m almost sixteen. In two months, our parents will move us to the Netherlands. Twelve years we\u2019ve been living abroad, the last four in England. I\u2019m just starting to like it here and I want to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is perfectly possible, because a friend\u2019s parents offered me a place to live so I can finish secondary school here. It\u2019s just not going to happen, because: \u2018You\u2019re coming with us to the Netherlands Mundo, end of story.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus spoke my parents.<br>Or really, my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement didn\u2019t come as a surprise. Just like the so-called conversation we\u2019re now having at the kitchen table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Take care of a good degree first,\u2019 Mum adds to her so-called advice, \u2018then you\u2019ll be able to go in any direction you want.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve already defended myself, but I\u2019m hitting a wall of deaf. Dad hasn\u2019t said a word. I know he wishes differently for me, but he\u2019s just sitting there, looking like a sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reluctantly, I sign up for the strategic school curriculum my mother talks me into. Why? Because after so many years of \u2018that\u2019s just the way it is, Mundo\u2019, the possibility that no one can force me doesn\u2019t even cross my mind. It\u2019s just the way it is \u2014 life sucks and then you die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We move during the summer holidays and I don\u2019t like the Netherlands one bit. What a stupid country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stupid parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stupid school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten uninspired months later, I\u2019m a \u2018discussion point\u2019 in the teachers\u2019 room. \u2018Will Mundo advance to the final year or&nbsp; redo this one?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I receive the benefit of their doubts, and on goes a switch. Because without that stupid degree I can\u2019t get away from home. At least, that\u2019s what I tell myself. So I charge myself, become a textbook student and even start enjoying those crappy strategic subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maths, Chemistry and Physics turn into explorations and correct calculations become little parties, which I sorely need because our parents are becoming ever more abusive and the stress I feel is giving me more and more sleepless nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the final exams draw near, I get a lucky break. A classmate and her mother offer to take me in until our exams end. Eagerly yet feeling guilty as hell towards my sister Dedy, who will be left to struggle with our parents on her own, I accept. And come exam time, I\u2019ve found a switch in all subjects except one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goods<br>Services<br>Currencies<br>Gross National Product<br>Net National Product<br>Interest<br>Inflation<br>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words are presented as logical ingredients, but I fail to see a recipe. And that exercise book&#8230; <em>aren\u2019t these just mathematical sums?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t ask why questions and bluff my way through,&nbsp;for there\u2019s only one thing I care about: getting that degree and getting the hell out of here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beaming, I hand in my final exam.<br>Beaming, I run out of the exam hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><br><strong>15 years later<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a few minutes, it\u2019ll be January 1st, 2016.
