Dr Dowing Victim Summary

It seems Dr.Dowing was on to something. He taught us that there are two types of people. The first type was creators which were very creative in making their own lives.

She told him to come by and he said no at first but he never really goes out so he changed his mind. Josh had messed with his friend’s home girl that he did not even know. The girl found out she was pregnant and based off of the situation Josh wanted to take care of it. Close friends, including me and his dad knew about this. We all felt like it was iffy and to being a baby into the world with a complete stranger was not even sane. So Josh had a talk with his dad and he basically told him to wait to get a dna test since she didn’t want to do the other option. He felt his life crumbling but then he realized that the baby was innocent if brought into this world. So he went from I don’t care if its mines or not to “if its mines I will be the best dad ever”. He basically showed that it was a way around anything, just don’t give up because if you do what are you really living
