Oxford Cleric

media type="custom" key="3628593"

I have grown up with very little money and because of it I have been provided with very little education. I decided to take it into my own hands to become a successful person one day. I have resorted to stealing money from my friends to purchase books and other education tools. Although this seems to be a bad deed, I use it for a good purpose. I spend all my time and money on books rather than buying clothes or getting drunk at the tavern. I may have a bad reputation due to the things I do, but in reality I am very kind and respectful to all. I am not an outspoken person as I only say what is necessary and nothing more. With all of this I plan to use my education to further educate people in my low class that are not gifted like the royal family. Religion also plays a very important role in my life, I feel without it I would have failed long ago. The combination of religion and growing up in a low class society has taught me to fend more myself… I am Jonathan Swift.
