Jasmine Harbison **“Pride goes before a Fall” ** **There once was a successful man who didn’t need anything from anybody. He had a successful job making plenty of money. He had a wife and two beautiful young girls. He lived in the best neighborhood, driving the nicest cars. He was the most successful one out of his whole family and everybody envied him. He went by the name of Strong John. ** Since Strong John was poor as a child he never wanted to feel that way again. He always wanted to be rich and never ask anybody for any money. He was at the point where he thought he was the best thing walking and nobody was better than him. He thought he would never be poor until one day he lost everything. ** As he was on his way to his office at his job the boss called him into his office. He found out because he thought he was better than everybody he was cut from the job. This devastated Strong John making him feel like weak John. Feeling down and out he knew it was over and he would have to find another job fast. With his bad luck that day on his way home he got into a huge car accident making his very expensive car explode. This made John feel even weaker. Telling his family he was fired, his wife wanted a divorce immediately because she didn’t want a scrub and didn’t want to struggle. She and her two beautiful daughters packed up their stuff and left him sitting lonely in his big empty house. ** With no more money in the bank for food the only thing there was to do was swallow his pride and ask his family for money. Now Strong Johns family were the type of people that wanted to see Strong John fail because he thought he was better than everybody. When his family heard the news all they did was laugh at him and joked about him being poor. This made him feel no bigger than an ant. All he could do was cry like a big punk everyday for a week. His family was feeling sorry for him so they decided to pitch in and give him some money. A couple weeks later he found a job making a good amount of money and began to get back on his feet. ** After his experience of being poor again he realized that with him losing everything he lost his pride with it. So he knows now that PRIDE will go as easy as 1..2..3!!! **
 * Even though he was still broke he didn’t want to ask his family for any money. The bills added up and kept piling up to the roof. It had gotten so bad to the point where he woke up to the sound of a large truck. Come to find out it was the repo guys coming for all his stuff. They took everything, the cars, furniture, TV’s and even the lawn. **
