Sub: See Me After Class . . .
It was the first day of school . . .
And Johnny had a new 6th grade teacher named Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith said, “Your assignment for tomorrow is this.
I want you to write what’s called an autobiography for tomorrow.
I’d like you to write your hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future.”
So Johnny went home and he worded on his assignment all night.
When he was done, he read it to his mom and dad.
His mom and dad were so proud of him.
They said, “That’s the best thing you’ve ever written!”
He proudly passed his work in the next day.
And when his paper came back, he got a “F” with a red circle around it.
It said, “See me after class.”
With fear, Johnny went to see his teacher.
The teacher said, “Oh, you’re Johnny.”
“Yeah.” Johnny said.
“Well, you wrote that you wanted to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and you wanted to marry a supermodel, and you want to become a multi-millionaire business man.”
Johnny said, “Yes, that’s right.
Those are my hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future.
He said,
“Well, you know, that was a really good autobiography you wrote.”
Johnny said, “Well, why did you give me an ‘F’?”
He said, “Well, it has to do with the writing.
I think it’s my responsibility.
Go home tonight and look in the mirror.
You don’t have the body to be an NFL quarterback.
You’re not handsome enough to attract a supermodel.
And you’re not smart enough to become a multi-millionaire businessman, but you write pretty well.
“If you lower your hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future, I’ll give you a higher grade.”
So he gave Johnny the paper back, and Johnny went home and sat in front of a computer.
And Johnny decided that he was not going to change a word.
The next day in class he passed in the same paper.
The teacher said, “Johnny, you didn’t understand.
You were supposed to lower your hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future.”
And Johnny said, “Oh, no, no.
I understood perfectly, but here’s what I decided.
You can keep your ‘F’, because I want to keep my dreams.”
