The Metamorphosis

Part 3-


After I realized that I could make some thing of myself now, everything changed. My whole demeanor was totally revolutionized. I saw the world through different eyes. When i began to see that i now had a chance to better myself, given i had all theses new opportunities, i wanted to jump on all of them at once. So the first thing i did was moved to America because after all that's where the opportunities are. I applied to college which was a brand new concept to me and begun an independent study. I met a girl after only being there a few months, and she completely changed me. I know wanted to not only better myself, but also the world. After i told her my life story she encouraged me to help all the other kids out there who were like me. She wanted me to become an advocate for the poor, unloved, alone and afraid. Thats when i had the idea that with the help from my "father" i could start an organization to help needy kids. It would be a totally voluntary concept and a lot of fundraising would be needed. With this new thought in my head, i begun the first day of the rest of my life.



- Part 2


When I awoke I thought I was dead. I was surrounded by a bright white light, I felt clean and warm. Surprisingly though, I was not dead. I was very much alive. As my eyes began to focus, I could begin to make out the things around me. I knew a few things for sure, I was in a big room, on a comfortable bed, in clean clothes, surrounded my dangerously nice things and I could hear music faintly in the distance. I slowly creeped out of bed and began to make my way down the long hallway in an apparently massive house. Something in close proximity smelled delicious, making my stomach turn and making me realize just how hungry I was.  When I discovered the kitchen, there were many people making dinner and preparing the dinning room. They all pretended like I wasn't there, which isn't a shock to me... after all, it's how i've been treated my whole life. Then I suddenly heard a deep voice behind me and jumped a little in fear. I turned around to find a nice looking older man who began to tell me the story about how he found me and who he was. He ended with explaining to me that if i did not have a home or anywhere else to go he would love for me to live with him. Keeping my own survival in mind, i was not in any place to turn down this offer. After i accepted, he told me that he was a very wealthy man in India and i would be taken very good care of.  This my friends, is an understatement. This man had more money than i had ever seen in my life. I was living like a prince. I was the luckiest kid in the world. I had all the food i wanted all the clothes i needed and all the free time in the world. I was no longer the poor, dumb orphan child everyone used to know me as. I was re-invented. This man saved my life. This man, turned me into a child that I can be proud of. A kid that doesn't have to go on hating himself living in worthlessness. I am now someone that somebody else can love.
