Reading Senator Ted Cruz's high school yearbook page, which included the Republican presidential candidate's future aspirations, is nothing short of prophetic.

high school student Ted Cruz wanted to run for President pic.twitter.com/Y8ZmgIj4jM - Robert Caruso (@robertcaruso) January 25, 2016 |
As a senior in high school, Cruz aspired to study at Princeton University, attend Harvard law school, achieve success as a lawyer, hold public office, and eventually run for President of the United States-and win:
Upon graduation Ted hopes to attend Princeton University and major in Political Science and Economics. From there he wants to attend law school (possibly Harvard) and achieve a successful law practice. He then wants to pursue his real goal-a career in politics. Ted would like to run for various political offices and eventually achieve a strong enough reputation and track record to run for-and win-President of the United States.
Thus far, the Texas high schooler with big dreams has achieved all that he hoped.
Attending Princeton University. Check.
Cruz not only attended the prestigious university, he graduated cum laude and polished his skills as dominate debater, becoming the U.S. National Debate Champion for Princeton in 1992.
Attending law school at Harvard University. Check.
Cruz received his law degree from Harvard University in 1995 and graduated magna cum laude. That same year Cruz was the semi-finalist in the World Debating Championship.
Achieving a successful law practice. Check.
Cruz became a partner with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius law firm "where he led the firm's U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice."
Here are just some of the other achievements Cruz accomplished with his law degree, per Young Conservatives:
Pursuing politics and "run for various political offices." Check.
Cruz didn't just "run" for political office; he ran and won. In 2012, Cruz pulled out an unlikely win and became a senator in Texas.
Earn a reputation and track record strong enough to run for President of the United States. Check.
Cruz became a maverick in the U.S. Senate, known for sticking to his conservative principles even when it meant taking it on those in his own party. Tackling the issue of Obamacare was a key fight for the senator. Cruz is currently second in national polling to real estate mogul Donald Trump.
"Win" the White House...
Time will tell, but Cruz's track record thus far sure doesn't seem to hurt his chances.
Here's the complete text from the yearbook page featured in the tweet above:
Ted Cruz is a senior at Second Baptist High School. He is a National Merit semi-finalist (finalist pending) and he is currently ranked #1 in his class. Throughout his 12 years of schooling, Ted has maintained straight A's. He has served as class president twice and as vice president of the student body. He was co-author of his school's student council constitution. He is presently captain of the speech team and president of the drama club. His other activities include newspaper, yearbook, key club, literary magazine, teaching computer science, and varsity football, soccer, and basketball.
This is Ted's fourth year to participate in the Ten Pillars Scholarship Program. The past three years he has won first place in his school as well as third in the city and second once. In the past three years he has spoken many times throughout Houston, at Rotary, Exchange, Kiwanis, and other clubs.
This is also Ted's third year as a member of the Constitutional Corroborators. Ted participated in the CC Texas Tour two years ago and their National Tour last year.
Upon graduation Ted hopes to attend Princeton University and major in Political Science and Economics.

This scripture speaks to the Church, not to the Cruz Campaign. Ted is actually never mentioned in this scripture.
Neither is Caesar. This speaks to the Church of their obedience to God.
It is radical to teeter on the verge of purging Christians because you perceive your candidate is more anointed or appointed by God than I believe my candidate is.
I have said, ad nauseum, that God did not always use the priest and prophet to bring about his will.
Don’t waste your time messaging me if you just want to monologue.
“Man with a Plan” may be an understatement.
“Our Master”, sorry, I don’t have a ‘Master’, not on earth, anyway.
Apparently you’ve never run afoul of the EPA, IRS, USDA, HHS, etc
To quote the Hitchhiker’s Guide “It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
Gotta hate a young man dedicating his life to conservative values and the Constitution. What a slime ball.
Did the Founders want it too much?
I like Ted Cruz. Not so big a fan of Glenn Beck.
Ted Cruz has exhibited an exceptional portrayal of character. Same wife, same message, he hasn’t changed parties and positions to make a deal.
Career Politician. Check.
Pursued making a difference.
Actually most of the Founders were reluctant to serve and saw it as a duty. It wasn’t until the political parties started to form that the professional politicians crawled out of the mud.
Ted has made so many or his goals that it is almost as if he made a deal for support.
Yearbooks are a great source of information. Used by Nostradamus and other great prophets.
So, he really is Ned Flanders. Lifelong goal as a career politician doesn’t score him too many points.
But hey, he was also President of the drama club. LOL. Guess that explains his affinity for Glenn Beck.
Ditto
Ted is so consistent, he’s boring.
That was one of the WSJ’s weekend hit piece points.
Not as reluctant as you think.
Open ambition was considered a sin, so all ambition had to be couched.
Not physically, we haven’t. But everything in the OT is an outward, physical example of the spiritual once Christ came.
I would say that we are definitely dying from lack of rain (spiritual leadership, guidance), famine of morality, and pestilence of Marxism, Islam, secularism, homosexuality - and much more.
Cruz will only be put in office by divine intervention.
And everyone who knows this and supports him needs to apply II Chronicles 7:14 today.......and it’s ok to call it 2 Chronicles too....
Isn’t there a youtube out there with Edward saying something about ruling the world?
He’s on his way until ......
