If I Would Have Known

Melody was entirely pessimistic and had her entire life planned from start to finish. By the time she was 14, she knew what college she would go to, what she would major in, where she would live once she graduates, what grades she wants to teach, and much more. She was one of the few students in her graduating class that seemed to have their life together. If you would have asked anyone who knew her, they'd tell you: "She's going to The University of Houston, she's majoring in theatre arts, she will live in Dallas once she graduates college, and she wants to teach high school." Everyone knew this story because that's the story she stuck with until she was 18; that's when everything changed. Who knew that one slight bump in her plan would lead to an adventure she never wanted?
If only she would have known that the adventure may have been what she truly needed.
