history: I was proud when my brother graduated college.  He had to work hard but he got through it. My little brother graduated not too long ago.  He had to work hard but made it through it. I am so glad to hear that.  Did he find a job?
current: He did!  He actually just started a new job that he loves and is related to his degree.
next: That is good to hear.  What will he be doing?
