Jules 2

I graduated highschool at the age of seventeen. I had to go every day for the last few months to do so. I was notorious for not being able to make since I worked a job at night. My grades were still A's and B's but school didn't hold much interest. I was already making the almighty dollar. I worked in a Waffle House in '77 and was raking in forty to fifty bucks a night as a kid going to school. That was a lot of money for back then so I thought I had it all figured out. I was buying my first cart, which my father picked out, a Dodge Dart that was orange with baby moons on it, not my choice, to old fashioned. I wanted a heavy chevy or camero. I met a man of thirty something that stuck a fork in my bum and I was done. He had the prettiest and most polite children I had ever met. "They hadn't been around my family yet." Their mother was deceased and they needed me. My mother always said if there was a stray in need I would bring it home. I fell for the children and the man that thought I was the best thing since sliced bread. You know that I was smart enough to not bring him home because of his age and kids. I don't regret that time in my life because of the person it turned me into. May the white light surround and protect you.
