Once there was a boy who made a mistake not just a small mistake, but a huge mistake, a life changing mistake. Judged and known by everyone in the area, the boy was now labeled as a failure. He was not a bad child, but just one who messed up. The boy was unknown to these people deciding how to handle his mistake because of this he wasn't given a chance and two centuries later his life changed forever. He was taken out of a care free boy’s world; he was thrown to the wolves and put in a hole that only a man could get out of.


In a new world of struggles that this boy had never thought would descend upon him, he was distraught and confused. He tried to reach out to who he thought where friends, but just kept being let down and falling deeper and deeper into this seemingly endless pit of failure. Few helped and those that did didn't help much. Those that gave a valiant effort to help couldn't even begin to help him out of what he had gotten himself into. No one understood.


The boy braced himself.


Now in the new world unknown to him and he unknown to it, he was frightened beyond belief dreading all of the horrible story's and still not realizing what he what the injustice got him into. Beginning into the world that was explained to him as a real life death sentence, he thought it would be a onetime thing; where he could escape to another world where he knew many others once more only after a short trip. The boy then changed his mind.
He would not be going to test the water and try find comfort with friends, but instead the boy would start over where no one he knew would be able to corrupt his enlightenment and construe the view of him once more. As some started to hear rumors of the mistake he made, the boy began to tell others about why he thought he was so out of place in the new world. Instead of being judged and not given a chance because of his past, the new world opened up its arms allowing the boy to flourish. He was finally given a chance.


The boy started to grow from being a failure to taking the new world by storm. He started to achieve a better name than the one once given by others. As he expressed his ideas on what he thought would help the world grow and expand, the leaders embraced him. They gave him there upmost respect allowing him to conquer all sorts of amazing feats. He was now becoming a man.


As the boy dug his way out of the hole and now started to step up onto a platform to build an empire up around him, others from his past tried to pull him down and force him to go back to the world where he had previously made his mistake. This place was portrayed to him as the promise land that would make him become a man and be somebody, but not for the boy. He was not welcome there.


The boy had finally found a home in what was a so called trash pit. As the boy grew and grew he realized that, he could finally be somebody. He took that opportunity and ran with it.


The boy had finally made it: no longer was he a failure. He took the harder road through making this mistake, by destroying his life and then rebuilding it, the boy became a success.


The man realized what was important to him; he found a new home, a better home. Now the man finally fit in. He found a family. The man will never leave.


I will never leave. I am now proud to be a part of something that I once never thought I would be. Never once did I look into the realm of being a ram. Now that I am one I will never look back.


People ask me where I go, so I tell them. Rarely do they ask how it is but instead ask if I am going back. I look at them, chuckle, and simply reply, "No, this school is the home for me."
