Context: I was accepted in to University after years of being an alcoholic restaurant industry worker, often working for minimum wage.
Speaker 1: I still can't believe my life is where it's at, especially if you look at the past few years. I would never believe you if you told me I would be here.
Speaker 2: Why what is the matter?
Speaker 1: 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!
Speaker 2: Hmmm! That is just annoying being an alcoholic. I purely understand your situation as I have gone through it. Well! life goes on.
Speaker 1: It does. I worked really hard to pass the acceptance tests, and I couldn't believe when I passed with flying colors!
Speaker 2: that is great..congrats....
