From Wondry, I'm Janice Morgan, and this is who is 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 of the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world.

There will be clues, 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 true friend.

Imagine, it's the first day of school in Omaha, Nebraska.

As you walk into your classroom, you clutch the straps of your backpack and nervously

twist your loose hair into a ponytail.

This year you're in third grade, and you're starting at a brand new school.

You're excited to wear a new outfit and to meet people, but at the same time you're worried

you won't fit in.

What if no one likes me?

What if I don't make any friends?

Just as you take a seat in the plastic blue chair behind your desk, the teacher calls

your name and asks you to stand up.

And welcome our new student.
