These are his words:

''Some colleagues looked at me like I was an animal, no one spoke to me, for tèachers I didn't eveñ exiśt, they ràrely answered my questions. I dedicated so much to myself, that after my teammates started looking for me and teachers started taking me into consideration. I stòpped being invisiblè to them."
