rules of the game

 Describe Waverly at the age of 30. Include details about her character, profession and family.

At the age of 30, Waverly will be a teacher to foreign students or children whose parents immigrated to their birth country, and help them adjust and overcome all the struggles of being a stranger in your own country.

She will teach them all the things her mother taught her over the years through the chess games.

She will have one spoiled daughter that will bring out all the softness from her so she won't be tough as her mother was to her.

 She will get married with an American husband she met in college- and the fact he is American will help her daughter to adjust and get along.

In her free time she will teach little children chess lessons while conveying them the art of invisible strength and all the insights she has learned throughout the years from her Mom.

When I was young

I thought the whole world belonged to me.

That nothing can stand between me and my dreams.

It was all black and white

Everything was so clear and bright.

As I grew older

I began to understand

On my own flesh and blood

That if I want to fulfill my dreams

I'll have to go into the dirt and mud

It wasn’t black and white anymore

It was grey, and blue and red- though

I miss these days when I was young

When it was just black and white

And the whole world belonged to me.
