He already went beyond that, with his hands, he dismantled and reassembled electronic tools. At the time, many radios could already be picked up in the islands. Listening to one of them meant that G2J could listen to all of them. So he tinkered and found a way to get radios from all over the world. While he didn’t like to read, the radios were there. He “ate” all kinds of information to the point where he didn’t sleep much. Thus, G2J became aware not only that he could create his own modus operandi to move forward in life but also that because his modus operandi was convincing, he too could have a certain self-esteem … despite the opinions of educators.

Maybe he didn’t understand what the teachers were saying. But he was able to invent his own method of learning and adapting to his environment. Discreetly, if he had good ideas, he would not talk about them because he thought they would not be taken seriously. How could having such poor grades add value to classroom exchanges? What’s the point of trying to answer questions from teachers for whom everything is conditioned in advance and who put you in a box…. G2J wasn’t trying to shine, but was looking within himself for the resources to act in this strange world far too marked out for his inventive and visionary spirit. Was G2J already a child entrepreneur? I can’t say. One thing is certain: he already possessed all the attributes, a bit like a spark that only asks to meet a situation that would ignite the flame.
