Everyone Changes: Part Two
Kang, an asian boy who has lunch by me, has the funniest laugh I know.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will become a professional comedian.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will be put in jail for murdering his girlfriend.
He will be sentenced to thirty years in prison with no parol.
Feeling hopeless, he will attempt to hang himself in his cell.
He is found getting ready to hang himself and is put on constant watch.
As time goes by, he accepts his fate.
While he is talking with one of the other guys there, they come up with a plan.
Together, they will work on creating a service project for children in Africa.
Who would have guessed?
Vicki, the girl who sits next to me in English, loves to write and laugh.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will graduate with a Masters in English,
Become a famous writer, marry a wealthy man, and have beautiful babies.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will be raped during her first year of college.
In her mind, she will be untrusting and diagnosed with PTSD.
When it gets bad enough, she will be forced to quit college and get help.
Everyone will think that the treatment helped her,
But she will turn to heroin to attempt to help her nerves settle.
Then she will get into such a dark place that she will end up taking her life.
Who would have guessed?
Dylan, the airhead, jock who sits next to me in Math, won't do his homework.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will be flipping burgers at McDonalds.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... he will pull himself together and actually begin
Caring about school when he gets a baseball scholarship.
He will end up graduating in Medical Research and work on many cures.
The one he will become most famous for, is his cure for cancer.
Not to long after, he will be awarded a Noble Prize for his cure.
He will get married to a simple, country girl and start a family with two kids.
Who would have guessed?
Nicole, who silently sits in the corner of my chemistry class, is a kind.
I BET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will become a world wide humanitarian.
YET IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS... she will go to law school and
Become an attorney for abused children. She will be a hero for many.
She will not be married by then but she will foster children in her home.
In the city she will live in, she will be awarded the Active Citizen award
For caring for the children of the city in such a loving way.
Who would have guessed?
