I am the only child of two famous and rich people: Maya Perlin is a famous designer, creator of brand TopStar and Richard Perlin who is the owner of biggest resort company in the world named Aqua Marine. My fate was determined already before my birth. I would be tutored by elite teachers to excel at everything starting from sports and ending with music. Then would go study in elite university to get highest degree in tourism, economy and company management. After I would get married to a man my parents would pick for me and inherit my father's company. I never had a choice to change it.
I was very busy for a little kid. I had one lesson after another each day even on Saturdays and Sundays. There never was time to play, it was all studies and getting better and better at everything. Of course a kid would have no complains and I didn't complain either. Only fun I had was in lessons I liked more than others, like arts or playing violin or getting to know other cultures. One thing I really did appreciate when I was small was all the maids and butlers that would do all the chores for me. But even that didn't last for long.
As I grew older, my parents had decided that there was no need for so many butlers and maids anymore. They released all but one which would serve as maid to my mother and father. I couldn't ask for her help, I had to cook for myself, wash clothes by myself and do everything by myself. It was really hard at first, the maid would constantly get mad that I didn't do things right, but nobody ever taught me them. However thanks to God who gave me a bright head, I managed to figure out how I should do all these things.
Then when I was 14 for first time I learned about the people and their everyday life through the internet. I'm not quite sure how managed to talk my parents into buying a computer, but that doesn't really matter. You could say that they needed the computer as well. I was really surprised to find out that other children at my age didn't live home, they went to schools where they met new people and even gained friends. Term "friend" was a complete stranger to me at that time, because of course, my parents wouldn't let me out to play with neighborhood children. I was so intrigued by school, that I begged my parents that they would send me to one as well. At first they were against it, but after some time of begging and convincing they picked an elite private school and sent me to it.
I hoped that I would meet kids that were just like me, without friends, tutored by teachers from early age, had no chance to be free whatsoever. Oh, but how wrong I was. I was out of place even there, because my parents were richer, I was smarter and excelled at all subjects. They honestly seemed really easy compared to stuff tutors had thought me, so it was rare that I got less then 98% on test, mostly it was 100%. Other kids didn't like that, not one bit. They were jealous, so my every attempt of making friends ended in vain. It was good, if I got away by just being ignored, often they would try to insult me. I however didn't quite understand concept of insults, after all I knew that I was the best, so they were kind of useless. And bullying by force wasn't really an option for my classmates, after all my parents had really big influence, they could easily just destroy family that dared to lay a finger on me. I was their only heir after all.
Just like that days in high school continued. I didn't see them point in them anymore, I didn't gain any friends, didn't learn anything new. I did however feel empty and lonely. I think that I'm probably missing something in my life but what is it?
