history: I was accepted in to University after years of being an alcoholic restaurant industry worker, often working for minimum wage. I still can't believe my life is where it's at_comma_ especially if you look at the past few years. I would never believe you if you told me I would be here. Why what is the matter?
current: Well, for many years I was an alcoholic, working for near minimum wage in kitchens. But that all changed when I was accepted to University!
next: Hmmm! That is just annoying being an alcoholic. I purely understand your situation as I have gone through it. Well! life goes on.
