This is the story of how my life got flipped and turned upside-down.
Ordinary World: I just go to school, or stay at home and do homework. I just work on getting my Eagle, as well as household chores. I don't really hang out with friends, as I tend to feel solitary.
Call to Adventure: A friend of mine said to ask a certain girl to the dance.
Refusal of the Call: I feel too shy. I like her, and don't think I could stand a rejection.
Meeting the Mentor: Another friend of mine encouraged me to ask her. I decide to ask her.
Crossing the Threshold: I drive to find her house.
Tests, Allies and Enemies: I don't know where she lives. Another good friend of mine tells me where she lived. I find it.
Approach the Inmost Cave: I sneak up to her front door.
The Ordeal: I place the creative way to ask her on her doorstep. My heart is pounding in my chest.
Reward: I feel relief as I get back to my car safely. She didn't see me. I sit in my car, heart still pounding.
Road Back: I head back home, still sighing with relief. But she still has to answer.
Resurrection: All the sudden I feel like she'll say no. My spirits plummet. My emotions die. Then I think, I can still ask someone else, if she does say no. I feel better.
Return with Elixer: I get home, with a contented feeling, knowing that, no matter what the outcome, I can live through this. It isn't life and death.
