They went on university.
They had their careers.
One becomes a doctor, a lawyer, whatever they became then later on.
And I never had that experience going to school at the age of 18, 19, 20.
So then I realized in Italy, oh, this is like...
in a certain way like a school.
It's like an educational process.

You have to learn their language.

I know Italian.
I know how they live.
I know the difference between the different places and how they think.
I think I've got to move on.
