I am a student at ABC High school. I want to be a soccer player when I grow up because I like to compete and move my body. I think being a soccer player is a good profession for me because I am very athletic and cooperative and play well in teams. However, sometimes I want to be a politician because I want to change my country. I think I would be a good politician because I am hard-working, friendly, logical, and confident. Although many real politicians are not compassionate, I will be one of the few! When I was a child, I used to play in a soccer league with children who were older and stronger than I was. However, I was very brave, and I learned a lot from them because I wasn’t cautious. Our team won the championship that year.

In my first year of high school, I was the student leader of my class. There were also two other leaders and we worked together. We were all decisive and organized, so we made a lot of good changes in the school. This experience gave me skills to be a confident politician in my country, Ecuador, when I grow up. I hope that my dream comes true someday. Now, can you guess who I am?

In spite of the cosmetic changes that he did make to himself, this person kept being considered the greatest entertainer in the world.

However, he was always introverted and sometimes had a strange way of relating to people. His life took a sad turn when he was accused of child molestation.
