     original

 I always then too wanted to be a flyer,that's what they called someone that wanted to fly things,like an airplane or hot air balloons or even a kite,they were called a flyer . Flyers was the name. I then wanted to soar above the clouds reach to Heaven irself and say I made it,look up,here I was then too.Others already in their lives discovered who they wanted too be,a writer,a doctor or  a lawyer hell we even knew young Hans Trimmer who ended up being President when he got older. But none of what he did came easy,we had to work at it ,earned it.

I was then an ordinary kid butI too had a lesson to kearned,during mt years in high school,I was then too bullied,being picked then  on by the other kids there,especially by one name Jared he was bigger and stronger no one ever stood up to him. 

So one day after then too having enough at home from my father who was always drunk, I decided to stand up to Jared right out there in the center of the playground and yes we waited until after school because we didn't want this fight too end,it was going too be a no holds barred too and first boy that said I quit would lose,almost like a wrestling match.

And so it began then too there then were drop kicks,pubches too then  the head and stomach,wetoo  used everything in the playground like a third man there to help.But where in fact Jared never stopped hitting me once he had me down or cornered I was then too taught then when someone was finally cornered they were giving up,And so as I cornered Jared next too a swing,I threw punch after punch,hitting him ,but then suddenly I discovered that I was no better then he was,I stopped and saw he was bleeding from his mouth,but he still acted tough,I saw him for what he was .

I then too took a deep breath,turned,not looking back,started walking away from him .He slowky got too his feet,and then wiping the blood from his mouth and looked  around hoping no one saw what happened there today . He watched me walked away from him,angry for not wanting to fight any more .

' Coward,' he finally then had said, I stopped still only seeing the two of us outside only birds flying overhead we saw,I smiled saying one day I'll be up there too, one day I'll be a fler myself,I tooked a deep breath and smiled at him . 

' Coward ,' I then had laughed at him ,' I'm not the one bleeding,besides a coward is a person thar knows when to quit,when not to fight any more,A coward is a person in fact who knows when to stop fighting and just walk away,If I'm then too  a coward then I myst be the bravest person alive.' I then walked away and never saw him again, I did become a flyer, I was then a  pilot for a local Airlines I flew then too 747's there were rumors as to what happen to Jared,But then to I didn't care I then labeled a coward when I was younger,but look at me now.

I never gave up,never stop trying no matter what life through in my way.end.
