Page history last edited by Anonymous 2 yrs ago

Ever since Athanasious was young he had always dreamed of becoming a general. He loved to listen to old war stories of great generals such as: George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Napolean, and Alexander The Great. He loved how courageous these man were and how they did all they could do to protect their people and lead them to victory. He beleived that killing was indeed wrong but also beleived that when a soldier is ordered to fight that God would forgive him for his actions for that a soldier is only following orders. Athanasious did not only think that he could be a great soldier but figured he would be so great that he would have to get promoted to general not soon after enlisting. There was just one difficulty with Athanasious enlisting in the service and fulfilling his dream of becoming a great general the United States of America, his mother. For he loved his mother so much and did not want to upset her. She told him that if he left for the service she would terribly miss him. She also told him that his attitude was wrong and that just because the opposition wants to fight that does not mean he would have to be the one fighting. She told him that she understood that he did not want any of his fellow country mans' blood to be shed and that he wanted to be the one to lead them to all out victory but she explained that it is not his place. She told him to follow the life of Jesus of that they both loved so much and to be as peaceful and loving as Jesus was. Athanasious told his mother that evil lurked across the seas and he needed to physically shut satin down. She replied that good would beat evil no matter what he did and he needed to stay in town and take care of here for she is old. Athanasious agreed for he did not want to disobey his mother's wishes. As he grew, becoming a general never escaped his mind. His dreams of leading his army to victory and becoming a world hero loved by all never faded. How could he accomplish living both lives. Could the life of peace alongside his family along with tactics for victory be accomplished all at the same time? Then it finallu came to him. He decided he would practice a profession that battled every day. He liked that these battles were nonviolent and even preached peace, traquility and justice to all. He even saw that while working in the profession the associates were like generals who plotted tactics to victory. This proffesion was that of a attorney. Athanasious got excited with the thought that attorneys are a lot like generals in that they both plan strategies to victory and both represent and lead their personal. He was more motivated then ever he became an excellent student and is now in law school and is enjoying every minute of it. He soon becomes an excellent attorney were he leads one victory after another and as contrary to others is well known for his ethical choices in picking what cases and clients to defend. Athanasious soon became world reknown and lives happily ever after.
