Kind mistress taught me from "summary" of Autobiografía de un esclavo by Juan Francisco Manzano
I was fortunate enough to have a kind mistress who took the time to teach me. Her patience and compassion were like a guiding light in my dark world of slavery. She saw beyond my status as a slave and recognized my potential as a human being worthy of knowledge and education.
Under her tutelage, I learned to read and write, skills that were forbidden to slaves like me. She opened up a whole new world for me, where words became my allies and thoughts my companions. Through her teachings, I discovered the power of language to express my innermost feelings and thoughts.
Her lessons were not limited to academics; she also taught me important life lessons about kindness, compassion, and resilience. She showed me that despite the harsh circumstances of slavery, I could still hold on to my dignity and humanity.
Through her guidance, I found the strength to endure the hardships of my life as a slave. She instilled in me a sense of hope and determination that kept me going even in the darkest of times. Her teachings became my anchor, grounding me in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
I am forever grateful to my kind mistress for the invaluable lessons she imparted to me. Her teachings shaped me into the person I am today, a free man who refuses to be defined by his past as a slave. I carry her wisdom with me always, a reminder of the transformative power of education and compassion.
