That was Then, This is Now

At age 12, my favorite thing to do was read
My best friend was Joseph
My other friends included Rachel, Jeremy, and Harris
My favorite entertainer was Weird Al
My room looked small
I wanted to become a teacher
When I needed to talk to an adult I usually went to Mike
The thing I valued most was winning
As a student, I was too smart for my own good
If I got into trouble, I would lie
At age 18, my favorite thing to do was (redacted)
My best friend was Rachel
My other friends included Paula, Olivia, Sarah, and Anna
My favorite entertainer was The Airborne Toxic Event
My room looked big
I wanted to become a professor
When I needed to talk to an adult I usually went to my friends
The thing I valued most was happiness
As a student, I was too lazy for my own good
If I got into trouble, I would own up to it.
