00:30The thing is, no matter how hard I tried to achieve the unattainable goals they set for me, I gave it my all.
00:36They gave me, but I never lived up to those expectations.
00:45And you...
00:46Finally, you did have a few moments of respite.
00:50I was just a kid, so naturally my discipline sometimes left something to be desired.
00:53One day I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't at school and he was at work
00:56to try and make pancakes.
00:58It was the kind of activity my friends talked about at recess that I absolutely wanted to try.
01:01I had just finished mixing all the ingredients when he came home earlier than expected.
01:09He was red with anger when he realized I had spent the afternoon in the kitchen instead
01:12to revise.
01:13Then he forced me to sit on a chair and drink all of the raw paste.
01:18Right in the salad bowl.
01:20He forced me to swallow everything while yelling that I'd better not vomit.
01:29Since then, I can no longer stand the smell of pancakes.
01:33I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.
01:36This is just one example among many.
01:38But I assure you that I'm doing well today.
01:40And I tell myself that's the main point.
01:43And well, in a way, it shaped who I am today.
01:47But you didn't need to be forged.
01:53Cameron, you were just a child.
01:55My father didn't see it that way.
