I was a student. I had it all planned out. My plan was to not have a plan. I figured I would stay in college for as long as I could. I was protected from the regular world as long as I lived in the brilliantly sheltered student life. After my studies, I had the chance to keep the sheltered alter-reality lifestyle of a University professor if I wanted… and that sounded very nice. It was all clear… I knew what I wanted and was on my way there. Until that one day.
My life changed the day I was woken by a small piece of plastic with a bar on it. I had achieved something I was not exactly ready to achieve. I was going to be a father. Believe me; I felt my world had turned upside down. Was I ready for this?
I felt the need to do so many things. The first thing we thought… "We have to get married… I mean that's the right thing to do, right?" So that's what we did. I was going to get married and I was going to have a child. I was jumping head first into the unknown world of the average Joe. I was changing my plan. My life had just changed in an instant and I was only 22.
