Our Story begins in the small city of American Canyon, in the messy room of your average teenage boy. The boy's name was Siddhartha but, he went by Sid for short. Sid was a senior in high school and lived in a Buddhist house. He group being told the stories of Prince Gotama. Amazed and inspired to find his peace like Gotama. But for right now he'd focus on the horror that was called school. Sun shined in through the blinds in his room hitting his face. He rolled over so that his face was in his pillow and let out a loud drawn out groan. "Why does school exist" he thought as he forced himself up off his bed only to fail and roll off his bed and end up staring at the roof from the floor. "It's going to be a long day.." With another groan he got up and got dressed for school. He took his time getting dressed until his head popped through the shirt he had put on and saw his clock. the time read 8:22. "Crap! I missed the bus!" he yelled out loud. He bolted down the stairs informed his father ,who was watching morning news, that he was off to school and with a slam of the door he was off.
When he arrived at the school he was completely out of breath. Hands on knees he gasped for air he look up only yo be greeted by his long time friend Govinda."Hello Sid, miss if the bus the again?" asked Govinda.
"No Govinda I just happen to love running to school and being out of breath." Siddhartha sarcastically stated only to receive a chuckle from his friend.
"How much longer do we have to keep coming to this place" asked Sid. "Graduation is tomorrow Sid." stated Govinda. "Don't tell me you forgot?" asked Govinda
"Of course I didn't I was simply checking the date with you" lied Siddhartha. "Of course you were Sid.." Govinda unbelievingly said. "Anyways what do you plan on doing after high school?"
This made Siddhartha wonder. His parent had wanted him to become a holy man like his father, but Siddhartha wanted to find his own path. Siddhartha wanted to make own destiny and live life his way. Above all else Siddhartha wanted a higher knowledge, so right then and there he decided that college would be the best choice. Best part was he had already taken the necessary steps to get accepted to college and his grades were good enough to go anywhere he wanted.
So his decision he proudly stated. "I will become a Doctor!". And Govinda being his most loyal friend said "If you become a Doctor then so will I!"
And so with their decisions made of what they were going to do after high school. They walked through the front door of their school to their last day of actual knowing that after tomorrow their roads to becoming a doctors would begin!
