But after all this, it had given me a whole new perspective towards things and especially life.

Rodriguez was born in 1944, where the world he was living in was different from the world he lived in thirty years later. At that time when he was just a kid, he must have faced a tremendous amount of pressure from his classmates at school, at the fact that he is different from most of the kids from school. He not only looks different but he also has problems in communicating with the people at school. Therefore the only thing that made him happy were books, because he knows that knowledge is the only way he can change his destiny.
