Malcolm in the Middle

 

All about Reese

Dewey, Malcolm and Reese come from a working family where they have to share one bedroom, one tv. They live on a tight budget. All of them are gifted children, and Malcolm is a genius, Dewey is the lucky clever child who's working his way to become a priest. 

Their brother Francis was sent to boarding school where he dropped out. He went through life experience the hard way but eventually found his pathway and returned to college where he studied a law degree. 

Then comes Reese. He wasn't smart in school and  failed almost every subject, listens to death metal and violent music, always getting into fights with the teachers, bullying students and wagging classes. He was often fighting for fun because his academic progress in school was terrible and he had no interest in studying what so ever. 

One of Reese’s teachers, who was out to get him, suspended Reese after he caught cheating in a exam. When his parent’s read the letter, Reese’s mother Lois went ballistic.

“What Am I going to do with you Reese?! You just can’t stay out of trouble can you”

“Mum I’m sorry I didn’t mean to cheat in the exam, I just didn’t know how else to attend the exam. I was only trying to pass and to get a good grade," Reese said”

“To pass and get a good grade," Lois shouted” “By cheating?!” "You should have studied!” "That’s what normal people do for an exam”

“But you know I suck at studies, "I’m not smart in anything", "I don’t fit to be in school it’s not for me it’s not what I want to do".

"Well you have no choice but to stay in school, or if you don’t want to you can start looking for a job or do a course". "I’M NOT HAVING YOU STAY AT HOME DOING NOTHING YOU GOT THAT MR"!

Reese went to his room with his head down upset and depressed.

Malcolm was studying at his desk, while Dewey was doing his homework and had drawing’s surrounded him near his books. Malcolm stopped what he was doing and asked "what’s wrong Reese"?

Reese said, "I suck I feel useless", "I’m not good in anything", "I always do bad at school and I don’t have a subject I’m good at or have skills in". "All I do is cause havoc and bully kids that don’t deserve it". "I wag most of my classes spending time at the arcade and getting into fights and doing reckless stuff". I mean even in the family I don’t know where I fit in"? "You’re smart and you have a IQ of 165, Dewey is also smart". Francis was a screw up but now he’s married and has a stable job but what am I"? "Stupid and useless"?

"I need to change and I have to clean up my act before it’s too late".

"So what are you going to do" Malcolm asked. 

"I’m going to make a list of everything I’m good at and I’ll start from there". Dewey giggles and says to Reese, 

"You’re too stupid to start a career in anything don’t waste your time". 
Reese gets up and punches Dewey in the face for making a smart comment to Reese.

So the next morning, Reese was sitting in the living room, thinking to himself, so he says to himself "I’m good at cooking thanks to the cooking classes I took when I was younger", "since I’m good at fighting I can always do martial arts and work my way up to being a martial arts instructor". "Since I’m always selling unwanted stuff of mine at school I can try to get a sales job or customer service".

"I’ll start with cooking I will enrol myself for a cooking course where I will study full time", Reese says

Malcolm asks, "why are you doing this again"? 

"It’s to show everyone I’m not useless and lazy and that I’m more than just some guy who likes to cause trouble".

"Yeah but why the sudden change"? Malcolm asks,  "Did you get a wakeup call or something".

"NO I just decided that the old Reese has to go I’m washing out the old me and starting a new life where my family, friends and people around me will look at me and be proud of everything I’m going to achieve".

"OK, good luck." Malcolm tells Reese.

So Reese attended his cooking course which was for three months where he learned to cook and bake. This helped his mother Lois, when she couldn’t cook, like when she came back home from work late and couldn’t cook dinner, or the random occasion’s when she gets fed up of cooking. Reese baked sweets and cookies after lunch or dinner and during the weekends as a treat for the family. 

As time passed, Reese passed his course and entered cooking competitions and found that very rewarding. Reese was a evil genius, who knew how to hustle people when selling something, but this time he had to turn that skill around and use it for a sales or a customer service job. 

So he got a job in a call centre, after applying for so many jobs. 

It was a telemarketing job, he made a lot of sales and found that job also very rewarding. And after working in that job for a year, he decided he was going to university to get a degree in Marketing and Sales to develop his skills.

While he was doing that, he also decided to take mixed martial arts classes. As time passed by, he finished his degree and now owns a marketing company, where he sells office equipment’s and for his mixed martial arts hobby he got the black belt and became a instructor. 

He taught his two younger brothers some awesome moves to learn, so they are able to defend themselves, from bad people and bullies when he’s not around.

So with everything Reese has achieved over the years, he proved to his family that he wasn’t useless and only good for causing havoc. Dewey was surprised and so was Malcolm. Lois and Hal didn’t have to worry anymore about what to do with Reese. He became responsible and independent.
