Day 3 Homework

Slide 0- The hook

Why do people focus on revenge for the people who wronged them? I did something different and the results were more satisfying than revenge

Slide 1 – The Setup

When I got to middle school, I got thrown into a completely different district where I didn't know a single person. I tried making friends, but it felt like nobody really wanted me around. Looking back, people were spreading rumors about me before they even knew me. I didn't even find out until high school that people were calling me "gay," "weird," and all kinds of shit.

Slide 2 – The Turning Point

Then COVID hit. Everybody was stuck inside, but instead of wasting that time, I started working on myself. I got in the gym, cleaned up my diet, and focused on my mindset. Nobody was watching. Nobody was cheering. I just decided I wasn't gonna stay the same person.

Slide 3 – The Reality Check

Freshman year rolls around, and people started noticing. One dude who used to bully me walked up and said, "Israel... in middle school I could beat the shit out of you. Now? You'd beat the SHIT out of me." 😂

That wasn't even the craziest part.

Slide 4 – The Lesson

Another guy told me, "I remember everyone saying you were gay and weird... but you're actually one of the coolest dudes I've met. I wish we would've been friends sooner."

That hit me harder than any compliment.

Slide 5 – The Takeaway

People will judge a version of you they never even took the time to know.

Keep working on yourself anyway.

Because the best revenge isn't proving people wrong—it's becoming someone they never saw coming.
