Charles
William Preston was born on June 6th, 1990 at Boston Regional Medical Center
to parents (and history teachers) William and Melinda Preston. A gifted child, Charles spent most of
his youth reading and watching educational programming.
However, one day something incredible happened.
In an effort to not fail out of middle school gym class, he forced himself to master a sport. Basketball was the choice he made after much hesitation and analysis. He studied vigorously, learning the rules, the teams, everything. He even took it a step further, learning the angles and gravitational constants for different shots. Just as he began to fall in love with the sport, his parents told him there was absolutely no future for him in it and how they were dissapointed that he didn't want to be a teacher, like them. From that point on, to not disappoint his parents, he gave up on it entirely. Charles forged notes to his gym teacher and focused on becoming as smart as he thought his parents were.
As he got older, many of his classmates mocked him for his affinity for sweater vests, his love for history, and his monumental temper tantrums when called “Chuck”. When high school came around, Charles was already spending his lunches with his teachers, helping them grade papers and offering teaching tips. He skipped his first school dance to attend a chess tournament where he took first and second place, due to a formality. Now that he is a teacher’s aide, he can’t help but hate the fact that Carl has no motivation (or teaching skills) and that basketball is such a huge part of his teaching style.

1) Is Charles a student, or is he actually 24 and working as Carl's student teacher? You may want to do some research and find out how prep schools assign these tasks (to students or prospective professionals). In my head, Charles is a student, think Jason Schwartzman's character in "Rushmore" (if you haven't seen the film it is worth watching).
ReplyDelete2) Is Boston Medical Center a real place?
3) Overall, you need more. Think 1 page. What other stories happened to this person in his past that make him who he is today?
