Arnold Etoua: Don't Run Away From Your Past - Pt 2
EP 22_Edited EP 22_Edited SPEAKERS Speaker 2 (80%), Speaker 1 (20%) So in this second part, I would like us to talk about your studies, because I know you're very educated. So I was thinking, how did you manage your studies in Cameroon? And then? Yeah, let's start with that. Because those were not optimal conditions to study in. Yeah. Um, I mean, my education back home, there was no education for me. I was, you know, because of what I was going through school was not even something that I was considering I was, I wasn't really active in going to school and the time I went to school, I was doing very poorly. I mean, look, like I said, No one cared, really. So I'm in school back home. I don't really think that I really went to school. Did any studies back home? Did you go to public school? Oh, yeah. I went to public schools. Yes. I went to public school. When I came to the US, I was in the, I believe it was 11th. Grade. Secondary. Yeah. But it wasn't really, I was, it's not like I took school seriously, because you know, back home, in order for a child to be su school, the parent or the caregiver have to stay on top of the child to make sure they do the homework and study. But nobody really cared about that. So why did I care? As a child, you know? Yeah, so I pretty much house after mastery here in the US, but back home, I really don't count that. So then, so when you got to the US, you've picked up studying? Yes. What? What motivated me is my story from back home, because as I was getting ready to come here to the US, because I was a bad person, a bad child, not going to school doing very poorly. My future was already determined that I wasn't going to do well in life, you know, and that, and I was told that that the way you going, you know, you're throwing your life away, and it doesn't seem like you're gonna make it out to that. But wait, before I travel, and because I wasn't doing well at school, I was dealing Quinn and I was just looking at it as somebody, okay, he's, you know, his future is already determined that he's not going to be anybody in life. He was already that decision was already made for me based on what they were saying. But it I realized that okay, me acting up was a result of what I was going through. But I, as a result of those experiences back home. That's my dream was to become a psychologist. Yes, that's how that's where it all started. Because I wanted to understand people's behavior. I wanted to know why people were thinking the way they were thinking and why they were acting in such ways I wanted, I was so dedicated about understanding human behavior, because to me, human, which was cool, because and it's funny, I had this natural ability that I can see through people, I don't have to interact with you, for five minutes, I can tell you if you're a genuine person or not, so I had this knowledge that that are considered as a natural ability. And I always like to analyze people. Because I like to know he comes from your childhood, right? But he was just he was just that, for some reason. He was just some thing that he was natural, that I could pick up on behavior instantly. As soon as I first come across somebody, I will assess the person and I can tell you what's going on with this person. It was just a natural ability. And I was very driven by understanding human behavior and understanding. Oh, wow. And I could see a lot I could see a lot of people and that's how I knew how people were fake. How people will hypocrite how people will put a smile on their face when they really struggling on the inside. I could see a lot of that. And the sad thing is a colossal see a lot of children suffering, you know, and that's how I made the decision that you know, I wanted to become a psychologist that was just a childhood dream that I wasn't even thinking about it back then because back home I don't even know if psychology was there was even program psychology back I wasn't even thinking about but it's...
