Life in progress

So, for today, I'd like you to write about someone that you know and care about in life (could even be you) whose life is still in process, but they perhaps have made PROGRESS.

I have a friend. His name is Kyrarei odd name I know. We call him Kyra. He's amazing. He's changed so much for the better. But to get to know why I would type about him, you first have to understand my relationship to him

My friend Aerin was found by him when he was 16. But I'm not talking about Aerin right now, maybe later, because I often type things about him just not on here. Anyways. Kyra introduced him to many things, most of which illegal.

Kyrarei was still in his sophomore year of high school at 17 and wasn't going to do any better. He was lazy and was one of those kids that never showed up to class, never turned in his homework and would always disobey the school dress code. He was a rebel through and through. He smoked, he had as many girls as he wanted, and got into fights. He dropped out later that year. School was too easy for him. He got his GED 6 months later with excellent marks.

Kyra was not stupid, but his behavior and actions were. He was a thief, and still kind of is. After he dropped out, he was caught doing heroin. He was arrested, but they didn't have enough to hold him. Kyra had tried everything at least once. Acid, Heroin, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Weed. You name it he did it. He soon grew quickly addicted. He was always high and always in need of a fix. One day, he realized what he was doing. It just kinda... Clicked. He quit everything, but his withdrawl symptoms were so horrible he was put in the hospital where they shot him up and slowly weaned him off of it.

He was a lot better after stopping the srugs, but the alcohol and the women remained. And soon, he became abusive to Aerin, who was still very sensitive about things. Kyra was an avid street racer and would often get arrested for reckless driving and such. Soon enough, Aerin removed his supply of alcohol and limited it to two bottles of vodka a week instead of two bottles an hour. He didn't know how to handle that and became quite abusive again.

Soon though, the change in him began. Aerin threatened to turn him in and leave him. That seemed to bring him back down to reality and he calmed his behavior a bit. He helped Aerin graduate from High school with Honors. From there, he began to look at colleges and once more got a job. The two of them moved from California to Minnesota. They got a nice apartment and both of them succeeded in getting jobs. aerin began looking at colleges, though he didn't want to start in one.

Kyra always had the dream to become an art teacher. He and Aerin got engaged and he stopped womanizing, his drinking has nearly diminished. He has been accepted to a private art school. He is doing very wewll. The two of them are getting a house and are plannign to get married in a few years. They are moving to North Carolina when Kyra is done with school. He's doing much much better and barely ever even smokes weed anymore.
