There is a bit of resentment in his words. He wanted to better himself to prove people wrong.

There are obviously but for the main part they all are hungry for knowledge to they are able to better themselves and others.

He was not bettering himself for his own wants and needs he was bettering himself for others. He grew up being put down for who he was, and he wanted to prevent other children from feeling that way. So, he teaches and writes. Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:48:17 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077054 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077054 This is powerful. He is not trying to save his life because he wants to live, he is doing it because he wants to better the children and people around him so they don't have to grow up and live like he did.
