They saw him arrive with his gait 'like jumping', he stepped on eggs, they told him. He carried a portfolio in his right hand while all the other students carried a backpack and the most distinguished sons of merchants or teachers or politicians a fashionable backpack.
Bierny always had something that distinguished him from others. His smile in his oriental gaze that made him look like a mature teenager, intellectual and very neat in his dress.
Although from a very young age he required magnifying glasses, they were only bought for the study of the Baccalaureate, his difficulty in seeing at great distances and at the same time from short distances, corresponded with his intellectual acuity, reasoning and psychomotor skills in fine arts.
His mother sent him away from home since he was eight years old, and although he was very young, he still learned the discipline of daily work, household finances and direct sales negotiations.
That custom of sending him away became one day from casting him out; Much family instability influences personal weakness and when they are parents they repeat the cycle with their children as happens when applying the seven games of the Creator.
Thus, I study the initial level in one school for one year, the primary level in another school for 6 years and for the secondary level it was interrupted three years after it started, so it had to lose that year and restart in the third year in another city; no longer in the care of the maternal home, but in rented rooms with his father who had other affairs and no parental responsibilities.
However, he had obtained a high school purpose to achieve the long-awaited high school scholarship; of course not in five years but in six.
And if in elementary school everyone beat him, it was said that, by changing schools, he would change his habits, he would cease to be peaceful, in order not to be easily attacked.
He also set out to be a teenager with goals and objectives and one thing leads to another, and with three simple rules he accomplished two things at the same time.
Rule one: listen carefully.
Rule two: accomplish every task.
Rule three study for the test.
One day the teacher who liked to do achievement statistics: she mentioned his name and his projection; She told him, in front of the whole class: Student Bierny: You can get to occupy the first place and if you do it for five years the school scholarship and go straight to the university.
That gave value to his life, once he was involved in the need to show what was it that he did?
One day they were beating a child from the same classroom, the aggressor student was of his size and he chose to show that he would be done in the future, he was filled with courage and stood in the middle of the two children and rebuked ' with a voice of authority 'to the aggressor saying: Do you want to mess with one of your size?
That was enough to generate respect and this never happened again in his student life, that is, in 5 years ...
From there everything was easier with punctuality, responsibility and respect.
First paranormal sign.
Something that marked him for life and that was like a sign was what happened to a female companion.
Suddenly she screamed, with a cry of sepulchral horror; When everyone turned to see her, they realized that her eyes were wide: 'turned upside down', 'whitened' and exaggeratedly 'large'.
Her brother, who knew her illness, searched for him in her wallet when he found a pill; He gave it to him to drink quickly and within minutes everything happened: His eyes returned to their normality, and he covered them with his curly hair and his prominent brown lips removed past doubts and his highly developed body made him lose the notion of previously seen disorderly.
For Bierny it was one more lesson. At home, her mother used to do the same thing every time she was jealous of her father, she screamed, got angry, broke all the dishes and after throwing her husband out, she ended up cutting her veins at the height of her wrists and ended up with serum, in the hospital; When she returned home she was only crying for long days, without eating, without sleeping, without having time to caress her five children.
Bierny used to pray like this: Oh Almighty Creator. If something hurts my Mother, give it to me.
Over the years that became a reality because all the events that happened to her mother; they started to happen to him; of course Bierny was a small man and his mother a mature woman: physically, but emotionally damaged, sentimental. On the contrary, and in favor of Bierny, the mature, very adolescent, in every sense of the word.
Thus in the midst of these and other family trials she advanced into the freshman year of high school.
His recess was quietly sitting in a corner, reading a book or reviewing what he was taught that day. No buying candy at recess, let alone playing games his age, or dealing with another boy for this or that girl.
According to his remarkable behavior, they named him Brigadier General and that was the link to consolidate his scholastic prestige, strength of character and social acuity.
He used to, be among the first and always ended up being the best in everything.
In order not to deal in his family environment, with his paternal problems, he dedicated himself to visiting his neighbors, who allowed him to enter their homes due to his good personal treatment.
Bierny, he wasn't wasting time, opportunity, and even less the habit of reading. He spent hours reading all the books in the libraries of his neighbors.
At home every day he could only read the newspaper that his father used to read. Of course, he had to wait for the father to stop reading otherwise he was reprimanded; because dad had a habit of not allowing himself to be interrupted while reading. That didn't stick to Bierny, he knew how to balance concentration with emotional control.
Being educated, it was said, means being patient. He was not used to imitating anyone, least of all bad family references.
