Follow your dreams
and the universe will open doors
for you where there were only walls.
Well there was this little girl, the age of 2. She had so many siblings that she just didn't have a thing to do in the house. They were all older than her, and had used all her parents money to go to college for themselves. So when she grows up she won't be able to go to college unless she can get a scholarship. Well this girl was taught at the age of 3 to speak all the languages that her siblings had learned, each one would take turns teaching her. Then her parents would teach her how to read and write. Her oldest brother, age of 46, taught her math, geography, history, and any tidbits that he knew. He was a teacher himself so she learned many things and by the time she was 7 and ready for kindergarten she was already ready to go into college. They wouldn't put her in college of course, because she was so young. Instead she went through elementary school each day, having so much fun. Then in middle school she started to be bullied for her smartness.
At times she would come home from school crying because of the bullies, but her parents were sweet and made her feel better. Every night, the girls siblings would hold a meeting about what to do about the bullies. They came up with a system. Since their sister had been taught from a young age all of these subjects, she had missed out on an important part of her childhood, having fun. She played games with her siblings yes, but not for long and she didn't make other friends. Just inside her family. So her siblings were very close to her, and they all loved her. They decided that they would protect her no matter what.
They would walk her to school. And walk her home, but the problem was during the school day. Her youngest siblings was a freshman in high school and never saw her, so the plan was to help her learn how to make friends. Her siblings friends were willing to help her, and soon she was a social butterfly. As she made friends she realized that she would love to become someone that was like a comedian to these people. She looked to the janitor that worked at the high school. When she hit 8th grade, her parents had her start applying for colleges all around. She of course, was accepted into them all, then she was to apply for scholarships. Every school offered her a full scholarship for any career that she wished to pursue. She didn't want to though. Her parents had taken over her decision making a while back, and decided that she should go to law school. They were sure that she would become a supreme court judge. She didn't want to though.
When she was being taught by her older brother, he had told her a quote that had always stuck with her during the time that they had worked on poems and quotes. "Follow your dreams and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." She remembered this as she tried to come up with a way to explain to her parents that her dreams weren't in becoming a judge, she wanted to be able to humor people. She didn't want to be smart anymore. The Second semester she came up with a plan, she started to flunk all of her classes. When one of her teachers confronted her about it, she lamely said, "I just can't remember anything anymore. I must have gone stupid." Her teacher knew something was up so he asked her what was bothering her. She admitted that she didn't want to follow her parents wishes. She wanted to go through high school and then maybe go to college as an average student. She didn't want to have a prefect 4.0, she didn't want people to bully her for who she was, she didn't want to be her parents perfect child. She wanted a say in what the rest of her life would be like. The teacher said the same quote that her brother always said to her and added, "If that's what you want go for it. There is a way to get there. Just trust in yourself that you will get there."
So she went back to getting good grades. She went to school to be a teacher. Then she applied to a school to be a janitor there. She loved her job. She would go about the school doing all her duties, and then all awhile she would help the students out with their problems. She was the go to person if they needed help in anything, and she was always cheerful. The universe really had helped her accomplish her dreams of helping people and making them happy. Her parents hadn't been thrilled, but when they saw how happy she was they accepted it. The walls were gone now and she was in a room full of doors and windows she could go through. The students loved her and there were so many schools that would love to have her be at their school. She was offered good money to go to some schools, but she chose the one that she had gone to when she was little and the teacher that had confronted her always had a smile on his face knowing that he had helped a young student of his.
