#18: A Product of His Environment
This story makes our hearts twinge. It’s ironic how this poor, rich kid had to deal with the backlash for his father’s crimes. We totally get why he had to change his name and personality. Growing up in a small town where your dad committed a major crime is as rough as it gets.
…”This was a sort of small community so his clients were all friends and family. It was all over the press that his dad went to jail. This hit him hard. I ran into him a few years later and he had changed his name, his personality was different and he even walked with a different posture. I couldn’t imagine how much this would have rocked his world. It definitely took his ego down a few notches. I sort of felt bad for him as he was just a product of his environment. He didn’t know that it was at the cost of practically everyone around him.”
