There once was a tenacious pauper who had big dreams for his life and dreamed for things beyond his initial grasp. This was a difficult situation for him though because he was still so poor. He needed to find a way to make money in order to attend college. He was a pedant and wanted to make sure that he did his best in everything. He was very intelligent and it showed in his test scores and computer skills. He attended California Baptist University and was a great student. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do so he researched to find his vocation. His father had just been inaugurated governor of his home state. But he didn’t want to be in politics. His main purpose for trying to make something of himself was to impress this beautiful woman. He felt great amorousness toward this lady and wanted nothing less than to marry her. He had to get inoculated on his yearly checkup required by the school. While at school he was able to spend extensive time with the woman of his dreams. Eventually he built up the courage to ask her out on a date. When she said yes he was in completely elated. When the day came for their date he realized he had nothing to wear so he went to the mall in a trice. He found a shirt that he was debating on getting but he was rather ambivalent about it. The saying on it was ambiguous and he didn’t want her to be offended by its other meaning. When he found one he liked he went to buy it but his cash had seemed to have dissipated. So he ran out of the store to pull out money and when he was at the food court he saw the girl he was supposed to meet from a distance so he hid because he didn’t want her to know that he was shopping for clothes to wear. He watched her for a few minutes waiting for her to leave and another guy came up to her, gave her a hug, and a big kiss. When he saw this he went berserk on the guy and beat him into a coma. When his adjudication was finally stated he was pronounced to serve one year in prison.
