Into Love

Modern Satire

By Distinguished Honorary Alumni Dr. Matthew PrimousPublished 6 months ago 3 min read

I did everything I could possibly do. I excelled. I went to college. And I remained focus. It never cease to amaze me at the grades and resilience. Who could have imagine those accomplishments? Who could imagine those achievements? My family told me to never give up on your dreams. Scott Badewood is my name. And all that hardwork paid off. I got just about everything that I need. And the world is open to unlimited possibilities. I have written some books and I am ready to learn new things. My heart is open. I love my job. I love helping people find their way. I love guiding people to their dreams. But the real world is not all what it appears to be. Things are not what they appear to be. As I entered the doctorate program, I am nervous. Rebecca has always been a rock. She knows a lot and she is a church woman. She is beautiful and lovely. She is simply amazing. It was hard being around her. It was hard being near to her. But I was determined to pass graduate school. I really wanted to become a doctor. And so everything was pushed aside even love was push aside. My ambitions was to change the world at all cost. I wanted to become an expert. I wanted to do something great. My professors were hard and stern. They tested me in everyway. And they figured out my ambitions. And I had to prove myself to them day after day. And I was stressing. And everytime I doubted myself Rebecca was there. She was there consoling me and building me up. And I only look upon that as good friendship. Until the unthinkable, I had to drop out of graduate school. And Rebecca was there but I was to upset and walk away. I left everything for that time because for the first time I felt like a failure. And it was hard being a failure and I was not ready for anything. I was not ready to be with someone. I could not figure out my future. And this happened for sometime, I was lost. And usually walking in the park, I heard something. A woman was in trouble and she ran in fear, she was robbed and was not hurt. And I searched for her. And it was Rebecca. And for the first time I held and console her. And she was shaking and crying. And you could hear it in her voice. I held her tight. And I told her that it would be ok. And I told her stories about how she saved me. And I told her how I felt. And I told her what she mean to me. And Rebecca stop crying. And I promised to give her back what was lost. And I gave her what I had left in my wallet and walked her home in the night. And I walked her in and told her family everything that happened to her. And even reported to the police. And everyday from then I would bring her daisies bright yellow daisies. And she would place them in her hair and kiss me calling me her hero. And we met again closer and stronger together. And she no longer feared about that robbery or where it happened. I brought her back to that place that gave me purpose. And I told her again what she mean to me. I told her again what life was like without her. And I said that I had some funds to help. And I proposed to her. I wanted to be her man. I wanted to be her lover. I wanted to be her best friend both now and forever. And she accepted. And I asked her what wedding she would like. And she said now today. Let's go to the court house. And so we went and married just like that. And we celebrated with our families. And we had one on the way, I had meaning to my life. I had meaning to my dreams again
