$A los 21 años, me llamaban un perdedor, una vergüenza, un soñador demasiado estúpido para sobrevivir. “Vas a fracasar y volverás arrastrándote a suplicar”, gritó mi padre antes de tirarme al suelo de un golpe. Incluso mi propia madre decía que mis ideas eran un veneno para esta familia. Pero mientras se burlaban de mí, yo estaba construyendo algo en silencio. La noche en que intentaron destruirme para siempre, no tenían idea de que yo ya estaba a un paso de volverme intocable… y lo que pasó después lo cambió todo.$
