William Bean is his name. Born on the farm. A life of hard work, abuse, and solitude. For young William, a day in life, felt like a struggle. To spread his wings and fly would be the answer. This thought weighed on William day in and day out. What would it take to make this happen thought William? He tried to do this with sports. You would have a hard time finding a child with more dedication then William had. This inner drive was easily seen by anyone who took a minute of their precious time and got to know him. This inner drive showed on that field. The field of life is the way. William saw this chance. The field of chance that one day he will find his inner self. The chance that he could shine onto the world. All who were part of his growth William would never forget. These folks were there helping him along the way William could see. The sports were hard on William. The gridiron was a painful place to be. Day in day out young William fought to be the best. For this might just just be his chance. The one William has been looking for.+
Then as the years ticked away William tried and tried to be the most valuable player on his high school team. William spent a great deal of his time helping the new players learn the rules along with the way to succeed at this game of pain. For William remembered the times when he was learning to play this game and how difficult learning it all can be. William would regularly tell the new guys that you should never forget the guys who helped you along the way. For William did not forget who the guys were who lent him a helping hand when he was in need.+
Then one winter day, the championship game was that week. Friday night was the talk of everyone who you see. This was the day, this was it, thought William. He was a senior, a highly fit, well trained varsity quarter back. William was the guest of honor he felt when he walked down his school hallways. Whenever he was in class or among his classmates.
The college scouts were going to be attending. This was the day William had been working so hard for. His excitement was overwhelming for William knew he was ready. William was ready to shine. There is a very good possibility that William will be offered a scholorship to the University where he could continue his growth.+
Now although William had been shown several nice moves by his friend Tim throughout the years, he had outperformed Tim in many ways. William made sure his uniform was perfect in appearance before he put it on that night. Here we go thought William. He saw the coach looking around the locker room. He was looking for someone. As William watched he locked eyes with the coach. The coach ran straight up to him. Then the coach said Tim is going to be starting quarterback tonight and he should be ready to go in if needed. William just said okay. William was not one to break professionalism and get angry about official decisions. William was truly saddened by this turn of events. He was not ever put in the game that night. Their team had lost the championship. No scouts ever approached William or Tim.

The next week, Monday morning, the week started gloomy. Every student seemed to be in a touchy mood. No student smiled that William had seen. That is when William saw his friend Tim at his locker, looking down. William walked right up to Tim and said hello. Tim turned and looked at William and stated “I feel so bad for losing the game” he said ” I feel like the coach should had not disqualified you from being the quarterback during that game. What do you mean disqualified? asked William. Tim stated “coach came to me right before the game and stated that you were disqualified by his authority to not be eligible due to your grades being in a failing status. This confused William for he knew all his grades were far from a failing status. He took off walking straight and narrow path to see the coach. William walked up to the coach. He asked him about the disqualification claim that was made. The coach denied any such action and William walked away, never to play another game in his lifetime.
William went on with his life. Years went by with work being all that he put his strength into. William had a son and a wife who meant everything to him. Their safety and happiness were the important things to him. Sixty plus hours a week was the normal work week for him.+
William could not help but wonder, what his life would had been like if he had not been robbed of his chance to shine that high school evening so long ago. At the age of 35 he decided he wanted to learn to perform music. To William music was always so beautiful. He bought a guitar and then a piano. He bought a microphone and recording equipment. He sang and played learning all the chords and notes on his own. He took no lessons with no person showing him anything. William became a really good singer and went on to make a handful of albums that he was very proud of. There was nobody who could hurt his chances at success except he himself.+
At that point is when William decided he was going to keep moving forward with his music career and began to write songs to perform for others. This swiftly moved into his want to write poetry. which was a great way to express his feelings he felt. William found a website during a google search that was bragging about the group and made William think that is the answer I am looking for. I am going to join this group and do what it takes to become a good writer. This group will be able to help me see the right way to write with the proper procedures to become a professional writer. This site most likely has some knowledge with a whole group of writers. William joined and paid his dues. He submitted a few of his songs as stories just to get started. He knew he was not doing everything on a professional level, however he thought he should just go for it and jump right in. He noticed that all his submitted stories were stuck in review. Then he was given denial messages saying his stories were messy and not worthy of the site to publish. This is when William came to see that he once again was being blocked from fulfilling his dreams by someone he did not even know. For reasons he did not know. Once again the weight was blocking his path.+
