If you are just jumping in here, please<\/strong> start with Part 1<\/a>, otherwise, this will just make no sense at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning:<\/strong>
Every life story has its hills and valleys. This chapter walks through a dark valley in my story. I tell this part of my story because it provides context and framework for what comes next. This is not a fun, uplifting chapter. Rather, it is bringing the reader through parts of my life I would rather forget, and certainly don’t advertise. But without this, everything that comes in the next few chapters would have no frame of reference. So bear with me here, and I know\u2026 I was a jerk!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’m back in L.A. I just had this incredible life-altering experience in Italy, and I am about to start my final year of high school. For everything else that comes next, well, how did I get back to Italy the second time, and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
