»My Class«

by Laura Arman

One day I walked into my class, after a funeral and with a broken heart and a troublesome mind, with a miserable glare and morbid smile, I taught my students.

And I realised...

One would be a serial killer, planning details to the last degree,
One would start a porn website and make his bucks from that,
One would never live his dream and have a mid life crisis when he's 15,
One would live a seemingly perfect life but surprisingly commit suicide, without a note.
One would be a beauty queen when she's 6 and then spend the rest of her life in the plastic surgeons office.
One would start his own business, which goes bankrupt, so ends up selling his daughter to other men to get back on his feet.
One would have a talent for writing, but corrupt peoples lives through false accusations just to make a story.
One would work in an office at a dead end job and slowly loose his mind.
One would start a poker circle, make millions and finally end up alone with a dead cat.

But after half an hour, I went back out took a deep breath and returned with a broken heart but a cheerful mind and a joyful smile ready to live life to its fullest.

And I realised...

One could be the director of a classic horror series and go home everynight to a happy family and a home cooked meal.
One could start a website that keeps people in touch,
One could be bullied at only 15 and then go on to accomplish his dreams,
One could have a stressful life but finally find his luck.
One could be ugly but one day finally bloom and become a model who helps raise awareness of aids.
One could start his own business which goes bankrupt but his friends and family scrape together every penny to get him back on his feet.
One could have a talent for writing and go on to write a best selling novel for children.
One could start a dead end job in an office but will fight his way to the top.
One could start a poker circle, with his best mates on a friday night.
