A Guy Named John


Our brains like to make up stories. I guess it helps to make the unfamiliar a little more familiar, and it is always cool to just wonder. Well you have a picture of a guy on the bus, getting the dirt of his nails, what's his story? He has funky two color glasses, a seemingly happy disposition, but I think there is a little more to his story.

John (since I don't know his name I call him John, short for John Doe) is a guy on his was to his first job. John is a part-time teacher of guitar at Columbia College. John is loved by all of his students. Everyone thinks he is a cool, teacher, with the best life and the coolest glasses. But many people don't know of all that John goes through.

John, besides working at Columbia, also works part-time for a law firm specializing in health business law. John's part-time job may seem completely different from what you'd think a music teacher at columbia would do, but it's more dear and close to him than many know. A few years ago John had to deal with his mom getting really sick. When John's mom got sick, they ran into a lot of problems with the insurance company. The insurance company wanted to increase John's mother's insurance plan and tried not to accept some of her medical bills, sending John to court to fight for his mothers rights. After winning in court for his mom, John still had bills to pay from court, so he decided to take the job at the law firm to help with bills and help with others dealing with similar cases as his moms.
