Why Are Hitler, Putin, and Trump Different? Reflecting on Childhood Struggles and Feeling Out of Place.

Reflecting on my lonely, bullied childhood at Velp's 'De Korenbloem' kindergarten and Prins Bernhard School, I was always different. Struggling with health issues, glasses, and social isolation, I learned valuable life lessons. Influenced by figures like Hitler and Napoleon, I realized early that people are shaped by circumstances. My story reminds us not to judge, as we all have unique paths.
