As for Timmy, I consider him as a representation of the innocence and purity of many of us when we are learning something new and we are out of our comfort zone, I had many students that looked like Timmy in many of his aspects, but the Timmy that I briefly presented to you was a representation of me when I didn't even know how to put my fingers on the strings😸
