Well, hello everyone, my name is Tim Hammerstone. I live in Topeka, Kansa. I have brown eyes and hair. I'm the baseball captain. I am 18 years old, a senior at High-Stone High School. So what else is there to tell you ummmm... Ohh yes, I hated gay people. I used to bully gays, but that was a thing of the past. Now my best friends are gay. I know what you're thinking "wait what!?!? You used to hate gays, now you're friends with them. How?" I'll tell you, but let's start with how my old hatred started with gay people. It started in a small church where my parents took me on Sundays. That day we talked about how “GAYS ARE A SIN” or how “GAYS GO TO HELL”. Well, everyone in the church was clapping, even my parents, so I clapped too. I was little so I believed it even when I didn't know what they were talking about, that's all I remember. Now I've grown up to 14 and started to understand that gays are the reason there is so much evil in the world. I started hating them until I hated them and finally I hated them. Then we had new neighbors named Philip Waters, Jessie Brooks. We were best friends. Filippo was of normal height, had hazel green eyes, and was the captain of the football team. He is Hispanic-American. Jessie, loves to draw, color and paint or anything to do with art. She was small for her age. She had green eyes and was American. We were best friends until they were both gay. It was like this: "hey Tim, we need to tell you something" "ummm ok, what is it?" "Jessie and I are really nervous to tell you, based on your option" "ok, you guys are scaring me, what do you think do you want to tell me?" They both took a deep breath and said......in the middle of the paper......on his cheek "PLEASE, WE WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT" Philip also prayed. I got up. All I thought was that I was such a monster that it scared them so much." no, I want to talk to you guys. I won't hurt you guys, I promise" They were scared but let me talk "I mean I'm sorry" after that I told them what I had dreamed" can you forgive me please? I'm so sorry, we can still be friends like the old days" I know they would forgive me. So I was about to leave when they said "we forgive you but we won't be friends until you get people to stop mistreating us because we are homosexual" "deal" I got people to stop mistreating them and finally gave my best friends back. That dream changed me a lot. He showed me that I should be more careful about people's feelings, their love, etc. Well, hello to this story of mine.
