From Wondry, I'm Victor Clark, and this is Who's Amazing Life.

You've heard of people who changed the course of history, but before they made their mark on the world, they were people like you and me, still figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives.

On this episode, you will be that person everyone knows.

You might be a musician, or an athlete, a scientist, or a painter.

You may know what the person accomplished later in life,

but now you can experience everything they faced along the way, from challenges and heartbreak to triumphs and excitement, all the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world.

There will be clues, so pay attention, but only at the end will you find out who you are.

So sit back and imagine your amazing life as the neighbor.

Imagine. You're six years old, and you're up in the attic of your house,

sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor.

On your left hand is a sock puppet.

It's a marker-drawn face smiling up at you.

Hello, sir.

Now, where is King Friday?

Oh, there he is.

You slide your right hand into a brown paper bag.

Glued to the very top of the bag is a paper crown.

That's all the decoration you need to turn this paper bag into a king.

You hold your hands up in the small beam of light that comes through the attic window,

so it looks like your puppets are under a spotlight.
