“I remember this day, November 15th. Then I went to work. My father had eleven hectares of land. I was the only son and my father was sorry of my leaving the farm. He thought that I would only supplement my income at the Depot and that I would return to my patrimony. I did not come back. I was taken by horses. After the first year of work in the Depot, I went to a sports group.
