Summer vacation ended. Our senior year began with both Amie and I needing very few credits for
graduation. This gave us time for career research with a lot of free time also. We had both decided on
our majors. Amie would study law, I was going into medicine. Now that I had decided on a direction, I
was anxious to get started. I had heard horror stories about the hours required of interns, but had my
mind made up that nothing would deter me from the path I had chosen.
Amie spent a lot of time reading books about law. She envied my eidetic memory and asked me to try to
teach her how it worked. I tried, and she seemed to be better able to remember the things she read. I
had no doubts that she would do fine in pre-law and law school. With her ability to “read” people,
combined with her intelligence and natural charm, she would breeze through it. With my eidetic
memory, I would graduate with an encyclopedic knowledge of everything medical in my head. We were
both at the top of our class, but I asked Amie to help me make sure she beat me out for valedictorian. I
could handle a short, introductory speech, but a longer valedictory was more up her alley.
So far, my life has been almost too good to be true, so I will cease this documentary for now. The future
Bye for now, Jamie.
