Characters
Special (professional bocci ball player)
Specialized (podiatrist with specialist in toe fungus)
Grounded (teacher)
Adaptable (computer technician for Starbucks)
Special: (Comes in tossing bocce balls)
Grounded: Hey Special! I saw you on TV the other night!
Special: I was always good at throwing things so I fine-tuned my technique and
now I’m a professional! Look I brought bocce balls for everyone. They were
made in Madagascar and trademarked in Iceland!
Specialized: You wouldn’t be that good if I hadn’t been so motivated to become a
fungus foot doctor, your feet would still look like wood chips and you wouldn’t be
able to toss more than 5 feet.
Grounded: Do you believe these SOLs? They are trying to get us to teach
Kindergarteners how to reprogram Windows 2050 and upload it onto their
cellphones!!!!
Adaptable: I’ve been pretty busy. I’m currently developing an online, voice-
activated cappuccino machine that recognizes 14 different languages.
Special: And can you believe that this is a young girl from Boise, Idaho? She’s
got the Russian accent down pat!
Grounded: I’m glad that we are quite successful and we owe it all to ---
Special: If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been so motivated toward my life-
long goal to be a bocce ball pro!
Specialized: If I would have never learned about the new technology in foot
medicine and would have never played the Foot-Fungus Video Game on my PS54,
I wouldn’t be able to operate the state of the art equipment to remove fungus with
such little scarring.
Adaptable: Dr. Columbus motivated us to have a life-long education.
Grounded: Because of Dr. Columbus, I have decided to instill the same ideas on
education with my students.
All: Here’s to the class of 2035!
