Judgement

Location

A boy being told that he needs to look a certain way to succeed. His brilliance is over shadowed by his parents need for hi to be normal. He doesn't play the sports his father wants him to. He doesn't dress the way his mother wants him to. He is smart, but he keeps to himself. Everyone thinks he is a delinquent. He puts his headphones in and studies. "You won't ever make into a good school looking like that." his father says. He graduates top of his class. "Those tattoos will never help you get a successful job." He becomes a successful doctor. He proves them wrong.
