An Ambitious SonAnd His Mistakes
Growing up in a nuclear family is usually seen as winning the family lottery, with both parents present and a one or two siblings to entertain each other, but his family was much, much different. Aaron Benjamin Scott was born on December 12th in Canton, Texas to a newlywed couple by the name of Charlie and Lauren Scott. Both were ecstatic to have their first child, Charlie even more so, since the child was a boy. His baseball career had ended prematurely, as he suffered from a terrible ligament fracture in his shoulder, which led to the man becoming obsessed with having his son correct his mistakes.
With all of the motivation from his father, it didn't take long for little Aaron to pick up a baseball and grow enamored with the sport. It made his father happy, so it made him happy. The boy had a proficiency with pitching, his batting wasn't too bad either, but he shined on the mound. In his little league years, he made a name for himself and his team in the local area by aiding in the a three year long victory during the season. Everything in his early years of baseball were relatively peaceful, because Charlie had yet to fully push his son, choosing to wait until he entered high school to fully start controlling his son's actions.
Inevitably, high school arrived and Aaron was put into varsity baseball in his first year as a support pitcher, since the coach respected seniority. He'd get his chance as a starter when he became a sophomore and earned his place on the team, until that time, he relaxed on the constant baseball practice and even got into a relationship, much to his father's chagrin. Multiple fights spurred during Ron's freshman year, leaving a lot of tension between father and son that carried over into the rest of the high school years. His mother and two younger sisters were forced to become simple bystanders in the war of the household, because every time they tried to defuse a situation, they'd be met with yelling from either Charlie or Aaron.
Until one evening during his senior year, a minor loss on Aaron's record led to his father kicking him out of the house for two weeks. The only reason he was allowed back home was when he was offered a full ride scholarship to Vanderblit University to play for their baseball team. Charlie had changed almost overnight, seemingly pushing everything that had happened during the last four year under the rug. Aaron reluctantly accepted it, and the pair bonded over baseball once again.
College life hit soon enough and for the first time in his life, Aaron was free of the view of his father, a feeling he quickly grew to appreciate. It was at Vanderblit he met the woman who would change his life for the worst, Phoebe Greene. Just like every relationship before her, he only started it because he wanted to add her name to his list of conquests, but she was a lot more charming than he would've imagined. It didn't take long for them to become smitten with one another. They were each other's rocks throughout their four years in college, they were certain they were going to get married.
Then Aaron was drafted right out of college to play for the Boston Red Sox, skipping the minor league portion of a baseball career entirely. There was no doubt he accepted, packing his bags to get ready for the big move to Boston. Phoebe refused to come with him, stating that she couldn't leave since she was just accepted into a local hospital internship. The two were faced with a tough decision and both parted ways with broken hearts. It was a mutual breakup, but it'd be a long while before he would get over her.
"Heartbreak could be lived with if it weren't accompanied by regret."

He can be expansive and exuberant, a generally cheerful guy with a can-do attitude who is always up for a wild adventure. Being restrained in any way does not appeal to this independent, freedom-loving fellow. There’s something lucky about a him , making him dangerous to bet against at the gambling table – not that he’s too concerned about losing a little money. “Easy come, easy go” is a typical motto; he tends to live completely in the moment, trusting that good fortune will follow them wherever they go. He seems to be living a charmed life and often take his own blessings for granted – finding himself at a loss for what exactly to do when his luck runs out.
The hunt is everything to the archer. Steadfast dedication might make this elusive hunter shy away. It’s often as if he’s woken up from a spell. The glamour has faded, and when the challenge is no more, the thrill is gone. His home tends to be mostly Spartan and utilitarian. It may serve more as a stopping-off place where he changes his clothes and packs a fresh bag before heading out into the world once more. Functionality is big for him, who shun frills and pointless frippery. He is all about truth and authenticity, so any kind of artifice or pomposity makes them shudder. This man dislikes pretentiousness.
He is forever in pursuit of truth and knowledge, and he deeply desires a career that supports his passion for freedom as well as his penchant for bold undertakings. His traits paint this man is an idealist whose enthusiasm and glass-half-full attitude can be completely infectious. If he finds fulfilling work doing something that he really loves, he will put his whole heart into it – as well as his mind, body, and soul.
