Everyone Changes: Part One

Jasmine, the girl in gym with me, has a reputation of the school, theatre ****.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will become a famous actress who will end up
Being apart of the biggest scandal in Hollywood.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will marry and have sex for the first time
With a wonderful man who will aspire to become a Politician. 
She will be a stay at home mom who gives voice lessons to the neighbor kids
While her husband, the Mayor, works to run Chicago. 
Who would have guessed?   

Cody, the red neck who chews tobacco during class, is a closed off person.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will be incarcerated for burglary and drug dealing.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will have made a name for himself 
In the movie business as the main star in the big hit western movie. 
Once the movie blows over, he will work on his tobacco addiction and win.
Then with the money he earned from the movie, he will sponsor a charity
For those struggling with addictions to receive help.  
Who would have guessed?

Tanya, who sways drunkenly down the hallway in school, always wears black.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will be put in rehab for alcohol.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... Tanya, who was never an alcoholic, will be diagnosed With a balancing problem from damaged to her brain.
She will marry her sweetheart, Alice, and becomes a fashion designer. 
Encouraged by her wife, she will work hard and develops her own line of clothes!
Her fashion line will grow to be popular while she and Alice start a family.
Who would have guessed?

Bryan, the class president of the school, is the nicest guy I know.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will become a doctor.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will become a doctor and become married.
He will work in an emergency room. He and his wife will work to have 
Kids but they will be crushed to hear the news that she is infertile. 
They will adopt two baby girls from China and begin raising them as their own.
On one frightful night, his own wife will be brought into the ER 
Because of a drunk driver and die underneath his hardworking hands.
On the evening after her funeral, he and his two daughters are approached
By bright-eyed Mormon Missionaries telling him about eternal families
Even after death. After three more weeks of meeting with these missionaries,
He and his two daughters are baptized. He is called to work in the 
Nursery with the eighteen months to two year old kids while during classes.
Who would have guessed?

Is it so much that people change or that life changes people? You are quite an observer.

I think that it is both. People change to adjust to life's changes. Thanks! <3 Tash
