Is it Luck?

Maybe you have heard of Ted Williams. No, not the famous baseball player, but the current Internet sensation. It seems that Mr. Williams has a gift of voice and was trained in Radio. Sadly, he fell upon hard times and became homeless, panhandling for money by the side of the street in the Columbus, Ohio area. That is, until he was "discovered" and his video went viral. Read the news story and watch the video that goes along with it. You have to be impressed by it.

Here is another story about Mr. Williams. Do you think that this is the end of his story?

Here is your assignment. Read both stories. Tell us what you think of this man's journey. Will he be successful in the future? Will there be more to his story? What do you think of his voice?

I really do think that he is going to be successful in life. This man seems to have a lot more stuff to his story. I think he will get a job as a radio reporter and no I don't think its luck at all.

This man was blessed with luck because he went from being in jail to being on the radio. This might be the end of his story. Things might turn around and he might get into some type of trouble again. I think that his voice is annoying because it's too deep, but for a guy on the radio station, I think his voice is perfect.

I think Ted Williams will be very successful in the future. There will be a whole lot more to his story since Kraft offered him a job doing a voice-over for their product. I think he has an amazing voice, I was very shocked when I heard it.

I do not think it is the end of Ted William’s story. He could succeed in the future if he does not to go back to drinking alcohol and doing drugs when he gets a lot of money again. I really do think he has an golden voice and can be big!

Unknown said...

I think he's pretty lucky, he has a nice voice and will more than likely be very successful. I think he won't have any problem finding a job. His voice is not luck at all though.

Unknown said...

Ted Williams has the gift of an awesome voice. He fell on hard times, but claims that they are over and he is starting over. He has so many job offers that I believe he will be very successful.

I think that he is going to be very succesful. I think he would get a job as an announcer, but he will have a whole lot of press to fight. This will probably not be the end of his story, but I wish him well.

Jessica said...

I think that it's awesome that he's not on the streets anymore. I think he will be successful. It's such an big story, so they might give us more as he begins to start over. His voice is awesome, it's crazy.

I think this man just has a second chance at becoming successful. He has cleaned his act up for two years and has an amazing voice for radio. I hope he will succeed in his works and become a great radio host.

I think he will become successful. This man’s voice is cool, it would be cool to have a voice like that. This man has had a rough time in his past. But I do not think it will be the end of the story.

Austin said...

No, I don’t think this is the end of his story. I think his journey was a rough road of challenges that he needed to overcome. Yes he will be from the money he gets from the sta-tions. I think that’s pretty much it for his story, I mean I think he will start to get richer but that’s it. Yes, I do like his voice it is very awesome.

Raheim said...

I think that with this newly discovered talent, Mr. Williams, will visit and care for his 9 children and will turn his life around. I think he will be successful and make millions. I think there will be much to more to his story. I really like his voice, it is very different from what you hear nowadays.

When I first saw this video I thought he had a good voice. But I don’t think this is the end of the story, I believe he could be very successful in radio and finally get off the streets. He has been given a great gift in his voice and he is using it well.

Unknown said...

I think that his career will be very successful now. As long as he stays off the drugs he will be fine. You can't describe this as luck more as talent.

Unknown said...

Ted Williams, to me, seems like a fighter and even though he goes through hard times just like us all, he seems to win. I believe he will be very successful in the future and his voice is wonderful. His story is a what you see is what you get kind of story. We haven't heard the last of Ted Williams.

Unknown said...

Ted Williams will most likely be successful in the future. He's got a really good voice and I was completely shocked when I heard it. I don't think its the end to his story because better things could happen and new opportunities can happen. Maybe its just pure luck, but I don't know it only matters how he looks at it the situation at hand.

mark said...

Ted Williams will be a very successful man in the future. This is a lucky man because he went from being in jail to being on the radio. He has a pretty decent voice.

I do think he is going to be successful. I don't think there will be more storys. I think he has a great radio voice.

Mr. Williams will surely be successful in the future that is yet to come. His story will probably become more and more intricate and amazing as time goes on. His voice is like that of Zeus.

Unknown said...

I already saw it. He's got good intentions. And a great voice.

Unknown said...

I think Ted Williams should be very thankful to be gifted for his voice. Most homeless people don't go from standing in the streets and having a history of arrest to becoming successful over night. I'd say, he has a one of a kind voice and it's certainly different. But his voice has brought opportunity's to him, he was offered a job to be the voice-over for Kraft. And these day's your always seeing him at some point being interviewed on tv. He's very lucky

Holly said...

I think that Mr. Williams will be very successful in the future. There will definitely be more to his story later on. I think his voice sounds pretty cool. He's going to be very famous.

Novas said...

I don’t think this will be the end of this man’s story. I think that his story is quite amazing. I think if he doesn’t go back to doing drugs he will be successful. I think is voice is very weird.

Madi McFarland said...

Chris Stepp said...

I think he will go somewhere in the future. His voice sounds like it belongs on the radio. With the right opportunity he will have a good future.

justin said...

I think Ted Williams is going to be very successful wth his life. I think for sure that he will get his job as a radio repoter and be succssful. There is going to to be way more to his story and its gonna be good.

alisareale said...

Yes, Ted Williams will be very successful in his future. I'm really not for sure if there will be more to his story. He has a very nice voice also. It should take him very far in life.

Unknown said...

This man's journey was probably very hard even maybe in some cases easy. I'm sure that he tried his hardest to get off the street and he said that he stopped the drugs and drinking so I bet he tried his best to do what he needed to do to get off the street and back with a nice job and back in a comfy bed again. In my opinion I think he will be very successful in the future because he worked for where he got and I think he deserves it. I think after everything happens he’ll tell his story of everything that's happened he'll tell his story of where he is now. His voice sounds like he should be the voices for cartoons and it would be great on the radio I’m sure he’ll get far in the future.
