30 years ago in 1982, I failed my high school entrance exam in the midst of my youth, and was a so called Chūrō(チューロウ).
I, who lived as a Chūrō in my most susceptible days at 15 years old. A year that would be considered a negative by most ordinary people. And yet, that -1 year made me what I am now.
Speaking of which, am I happy now? The 2013 me will meet the 1982 me once more.
