1 Picture 1 Story Week #60

This isn't your usual camp fire stories, where fantasies and monsters are created to try and scare of children into believing in whatever, this is a story of man who was born in a damaged home and decided to become a leader of a community a midst all the child hood trauma he faced in his family.

It was 1983 when the first cry of a baby was heard, he cried so loud that the doctor couldn't bare it, even in the arms of his beloved mother he still cried, Raymond was a gentle little kid with beautiful eyes and a very shiny fair skin, he was well taken care of as a baby and grew up to a good young man. How house hold was made up of 3 brothers, 2 sisters, his Mother and His Father.

At the age of 8 he got a brand new bicycle and how he loved that bicycle, although he hadn't learned how to ride a bike before, he'd always practice and of course his elder brother Jeremy was there to help. Once he got the hang of it, he started pulling dangerous stunts on the bike which one day led to him injuring his mouth to his tongue.

After a thorough check up, the doctor declared that he'll be dumb due to the damage of the accident this caused him to be very concerned since he wanted to become a Priest, so he questioned his life choices, he was devasted to the point of giving up hope, but the story wasn't about a young man who gave up on his dreams because of one silly accident. So he dedicated time to build his self confidence and started exercising his facial muscles to get his tongue and jaws back in shape.

Few months later, he got his tongue back and was able to speak again, he had built his self confidence to the utmost point as a kid, at this stage he was more determined than ever to become a Priest, so he got more serious in his studies, always keeping the "A" grades and surpassing everyone's expectations. When he finished Secondary school he told his parents to send him to the Seminary to get the proper training and education to become a Priest.

Fast forward few years later, he became a Priest as he wanted and he was appointed to a Parish where he trained lots of youths to become better persons in society. He is the priest in the picture carrying the baby. His community came to visit him and took that general picture with him.

I hope y'all liked the story of this priest your comments and votes will really say a lot. I'm inviting @rafk, @patjewell, and @pandora2010 to the contest.
