I was a very serious young man, very committed to saving the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was raised by my parents to believe that you had a moral obligation to try and help save the world.
I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
I'm the type of person who tries to save the world.
I was a very, very serious child... I was valedictorian of my kindergarten and eighth-grade class.
I risked my life.
I was doing everything I could think of to protect my husband and keep him alive.
My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.
I wrote as a very angry young man, believing he was going to be killed in a world war.
In my twenties, I was a huge, insane risk-taker.
I had lost a clear sense of the vision and values instilled in me as a child and was no longer driven by any mission or passion. I made the difficult decision to pull back from the noise of my life and reinvent the way I was living and leading.
