LOCAL BICYCLE THIEF TURNED FOOTBALL CHIEF

Chuck Woolery was a nobody. A real loser. Just one year ago, Chuck was flunking out of high school with a grade point average of -1.2. Despite extensive counseling from the teachers at Lou Gehrig Big Sluggers High School, Woolery just couldn't elevate his academic life.

Mr. Farthaust, the advanced placement history teacher at the high school, says that Chuck was, "just a bad kid, a real pain in the ass". Fellow classmate Mike Chen says that Chuck, "would show up to class, put his feet up on the desk, and just chillax all bell. Some of us looked up to him, others hated him, many feared him". Local dumpster man Joe Dilby says, "I saw Chuck around town. Where he went, trouble followed. I never saw the kid without a smirk on his face and a snuff box concealed in his breast pocket".

Over 377 reports of bicycle thefts have been reported in Pinecrest this year alone. Every single one of these cases has been connected back to Mr. Woolery through DNA evidence and security camera footage. When Chuck was brought in to face charges for these crimes, a local jury sentenced him to 10 years of hard time without probation.

As of 2016, Chuck Woolery has finally exited the prison system and has been re-acclimated to life in Pinecrest. At age 27, Woolery has been accepted back into Lou Gehrig Big Sluggers High School to complete his final year of high school and graduate. In this final year of his high school career, Chuck Woolery has chosen to pursue a position on the football team and is now the quarterback of the Big Slugger Grasshoppers (Let's go Grasshoppers! Hop hop!). He has since led the team all the way to the State Tournament!

A lot can be taken away from Chuck Woolery's story. His journey proves that a troubled past does not necessarily indicate a troubled future. Although you can never amend your poor choices, you can still improve and continue on in a positive direction.
