From Wondry, I'm Robbie Damond, and this is Who's Amazing Life?

You've heard of people who changed the course of history, but before they made their mark

on the world, they were people like you and me, still figuring out what they wanted to

do with their lives.

On this episode, you will be that person everyone knows.

You might be a musician, or an athlete, a scientist, or a painter.

You may know what the person accomplished later in life, but now you can experience everything

they faced along the way, from challenges and heartbreak, to triumphs and excitement.

All the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world, there

will be clues to who you are, so pay attention.

But only at the end will you find out who you are.

So sit back and imagine your amazing life as the songwriter.

Imagine you are shoving your way through a crowd of kids, schools out.

You brush your bowl cut hair out of your eyes and try to push towards the door, but the

other kids keep jostling past you like you're not even there.

You take a deep breath of New York City air, and watch the other six-year-olds hug their

waiting nannies and drivers, who pile them into gleaming BMWs and porches.

Your school's a magnet school.

That means it's for gifted kids, but as far as you can tell, that means gifted financially,

which you are definitely not.

That's why your ride home is a big old yellow school bus, and it's going to take you all

the way back up past 200th Street, where you live, 45 long minutes away.
