Part 2
I was very lucky not to be affected by the political chaos of 1979 to 1982 and onwards. I think it was because of my father's continuous advice that I have to focus on my studies to become a medical doctor. My father was and is a man with great will power and influence over the others. The time was the time of political groups like pro-Russians, communists, and Islamic paramilitary fans to recruit high school students to join them for organizational activities. I did not participate in any and stood away from all the buzz despite being very curious to know what they were selling. These groups were all annihilated by mainstream power. There were all executed or escaped the country. I was safe as I was absolutely neutral. I was just studying hard and trying to read extra books on physiology and neurology, going beyond high school textbooks. I also knew that a good medical student should have a good command of English. I think I had an aptitude for language.
