A marketer's report on Sheldon Stetz would read something like this:
Smart. Privileged. Future doctor. Future lawyer. Future somebody.
It would be accurate, but it would also be incomplete. It wouldn't include:
Confused. Indecisive. Lacks confidence. Cynical. Spiteful.
I'm going to be a Navy SEAL. No questions asked, that's what I'm doing. I'm gonna make it or die trying.
The weird thing is that the same kid who wants to go through the toughest mental and physical training in the world so he can more effectively and efficiently kill people has an incredibly artistic side that wants to play music and take photos and do something beautiful.
This is the same kid who doesn't take notes, reads magazines, and sleeps all hour but still gets near-perfect scores on tests.
The same kid who could use a little potential-guiding light. I can do anything, I just need to know where to go and how to put myself to use.
the future
