history: Having a baby caused me to have a more optimistic view on life. Having a baby 3 months ago really changed my view on life for the better. Oh awesome!  Congrats!!!!  How has it changed life for you?
current: I was a heavy drinker, and looking back now, I know I was in a downward spiral, I just couldn't tell at the time. Now I'm pursuing my education and have become much more healthy and responsible.
next: That's really fantastic!  I'm glad to hear you turned your life around.
