The conditions in which Costel spent his childhood were difficult, both because of the modest income of the house and because of the isolation of the town (which lacked electricity and drinking water). At the age of 14, he runs away from home; circumstances forced him to give up his studies, limiting himself to passing the secondary school cycle (eight classes). Although he tried to attend high school, living on his own led him to interrupt his studies shortly after.
