Excuse me, ma'am but I think you're in my seat
Oh sorry about that
What a surprise! It's me, Matt! We were classmates in high school
Fancy meeting you here! Long time no see
It's been ages! I haven't seen you since graduation
You look very different now! I almost didn't recognize you
No wonder! For starters, I used to have braces in high school, so when I smile you would see metal over my teeth
I had really bad acne, I had pimples all over my face
It's wasn't that bad, don't be so hard on yourself
And I was pretty plump
I've lost a lot of weight since then. I'm into sports
I wish I had been more involved in the sports clubs in high school
I didn't have any motivation to put my heart into any sports
But you haven't changed a bit since high school. You look the same, but better
That's nice of u to say
We had some fun times in HS. We did many foolish things
That's true. I'm with u on that
Remember Mrs Nesbitt's chemistry class when I had that funny accident?
U mean that explosion, when u blew up ur project?
Exactly, I really screwed up.
Well. These things happen.
You didn't show up at our 10-year HS reunion, so I haven't heard from you since graduation
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to the reunion
It's so nice that you could catch up with all our classmates
Yeah actually I have kept in touch with some of them over the years
Did u hear that Tom won $1M at the lottery and lost all the money in 2 years
No way! You've got to be kidding me
How could that happen?
I dont know, beats me
Did u know that Bob got married with Lindsey
That figures. They had been in love with each other since 10th grade
Did they have any children?
Not that i know of
What have u been up to these past twelve years?
I got a degree in finance
While in college I met my husband Nick
After we met it was a whirlwind romance
We got married about a year after I graduated
After I graduated, I started working at a local bank but all along I knew finance was not my thing
I had always been into fashion and clothing but my parents discouraged me to pursue this career
So I finally made up my mind to go for it
I quit my job and started doing tailoring from home
Then I rented a place and opened a tailor shop
I started from scratch and built it beautifully nicely
Now I am about to open a boutique with my own creations
You rock! Im really happy for u
I think it takes a lot of guts to start such a business
It has been a lot of work but it's been worth it
I couldn't ask for more
It goes to show that it's never too late to change career and pursue your passion
I couldn't agree more
How about u?
Well, I studied film and got my degree in cinematography
But filmmaking isn't all it's cracked up to be.
I couldn't earn a living from the films I was making
That sounds tough
Tell me about it
I had to work all kind of jobs for a while just to make ends meet
I painted people's houses and did some lawn maintenance
The I worked as a photographer for a few years
I have been working on a film lately but I don't know if it's going to be successful
Just hang in there. The road to success is not easy
Hard work and patience always pay off big time
I hope you get the big break u need
Just keep going and hopefully you'll make it in the film industry
Even if that doesn't happen I can live with that
It wont be the end of the world if I dont make it
That's life. You win some you lose some
I can argue with that
I may not have the perfect career but I have a wonderful family
I am a happy married man with 3 kids
Lucky u! I couldn't be happier for u! Sounds like we've both been busy
Yeah time's flown by

Thanks! We always think we know a lot, but when we start to see this kind of video we found out that we don't know much.

[ngocxuyng]

This lesson is perfect, it took up my heart 😢
Don't think it's just a usual lesson if you listen to it, it consists of deep meaning.
"Never too late to change careers and pursue your passion" and in life "you win some, you lose some" 🙁
