is "I was" optional? I did not have strong feelings towards religion when (I was) young and felt that my parents were somehow exaggerating. I thought, “I am just an ordinary person, what kind of mission could I possibly have?”
Is "I was" optional?
Thanks.

Teacher Re: is "I was" optional? It can be omitted, but it sounds better (to me) if it is retained.
