“When I was 3 years old my parents died in a plane crash. I was left in their will to my aunt and uncle, but they decided they had enough to deal with in their hectic lives, so they sent me to “St. Masons for Boys” orphanage. It wasn’t a terrible place to live. In fact, one day a family of people came to see if they could adopt me. We spent the whole day together talking and thinking about what our lives would be like if we could all be together. At the end of the day we walked to the door and they said they just couldn’t take care of me. Not in all the ways I wanted. So they left. I trudged up to my room and cried. “I wish I had a family” I thought to myself as I dozed off to sleep. After spending 14 years being schooled in the orphanage,

He was happier than he had been in a very long time. Months later, after going to Professor Goodman’s house many more times for dinner, he returned from school to find a letter on his bed. It was a letter from the college where the professor worked. He was so nervous to open it, but he finally did. It was an acceptance letter! He was so excited and he knew Professor Goodman would be too! A month later he was moving out of the orphanage. He was ecstatic about being able to leave the orphanage.

His friends took him out on the slopes and taught him how to ski on the first day of the trip, and he learned really quickly.
But then he got really conceited and tried the hardest slope. He broke his really badly on the way down. His friends had to help him slowly to the bottom and he was rushed to the closest hospital.
Once he got there they took him straight into surgery. Since his arm was so badly broken the doctors couldn’t set it without putting him under. After surgery they rolled Alec back to his room and he woke up to Professor Goodman and his family sitting by his bed.
