DEMISE (?) OF AN OVER-ACHIEVER
There is growing attention in the music world and on tmz.com about a sixteen year old punk drummer in the band Tinkture who lost part of her hand while watching a fireworks celebration. Someone, probably part of some throng of people since it happened in San Francisco at Dolores Park, tossed a cherry bomb that landed on or close enough to her hand to permanently disfigure it. A reward of at least $10,000 is being offered for information on who threw the illegal firecracker. At first glance it would seem that this is just another story of some punk musician injured in a tragic accident, and musicians get injured like any other group of people, but especially drummers. Besides happening in the enchanted land of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, Roisin Isner would be just another tragedy, with her being so young and all. But all that changes when she’s placed under the Review’s ‘view’ and you see the kinds of trials at work that you may have heard about it if you studied the classics. Trials are what The Fates sometimes place on us mortals. They are Trials that God allows as we are ‘tested’ to determine our true marrow as souls. Let’s look at Roisin Isner.
Roisin is a nationally recognized student, winning national awards, testing in the top 2% nationally; her academic bio is listed yearly in the Who’s Who Amongst American High School Students (which goes out to every university in the country). She recently graduated with honors from the prestigious Woodside International School in San Francisco, and was admitted to the honors program at Dominican University in San Rafael on full scholarship (because she grew up poor in the hard Visitation Valley neighborhood). Universities have been actively recruiting her for years, and by 15 she was guaranteed placement in the UC of her choice.
