From Prankster to Legend

Okay, so I just stumbled across this fun fact, and I have to share it with you all.

Picture this: a school principal punishes a student for pulling a prank by making him read the US Constitution. Sounds like a pretty standard "learn your lesson" move, right?


But here’s the twist—this kid gets so into it that he starts memorizing chunks of it. Fast forward a few years, and guess who becomes the first Black Supreme Court justice? Yep, that same kid: Thurgood Marshall. 🤯

I mean, talk about a glow-up! From prankster to legal legend—how cool is that? It just goes to show you never know where life (or a quirky punishment) might take you.
