At 15, I told my parents I wanted to explore the world, to change, and to grow. They were confused about what I meant by all that. Could you imagine a 15-year-old saying all that? Was I going through an identity crisis? Was I already thinking about my future at such a young age? Funny enough, I was telling them that I wanted to leave Peru and study abroad. At 15, my mind was clear. Five years…
