The road not taken-The speaker's speech

Dear gests,

During the 80 years of my life I had gone through many experiences which taught me important lessons and helped shape the man I am today. In this special occasion, I would kindly like to share with you some of my acquired wisdom.

In my life I have not once faced the need to choose a path. However, choosing the right path can be hard and confusing.  Firstly, sometimes you will find the roads to be similar and won't see the difference between them. Secondly, many times there will be obstacles that will prevent you from choosing the right way for you. Eventually, even when you finally make a decision, you will feel disunited. On one hand, you will feel relief for the decision you have made. On the other hand, you will feel some doubt and reservation for the way you have left behind.

In conclusion, let me give you some word of advice: always walk the path you think is right for you, even if that path is less popular or less acceptable for others. This way you will be complete with yourself and with the way you decided to take.

Thank you for celebrating with me,

Frost.

 

 

A summer's reading

Dear Mr. Cattanzara,

20 years ago I was a different person then I am now.  I didn’t finish school, I could barley read, I had no job, I lived at the expense of my sister and father. I was ashamed of myself. Every time I left home I was hoping nobody would see me in this shameful state. 
Today, after 20 years I have become another person. I have made many significant changes in myself, all thanks to you, for making see life in a different light. I studied literature at university, and now I am a literature teacher in a high school. Every year I teach different pupils, and in each first lesson I tell my pupils about my past when I was their age. I make them believe that even if you are at the bottom you can rise
and change.  I live with my lovely wife, Jordan, and we have three wonderful children.
And I hope that if one day one of my pupils would be in the situation that I was, I will be able to change him like you changed me.

My pupils have been waiting to meet you so come and visit us, I miss you.

George.

 
     

mr. know all - a different point of view

I was quite nervous when I went on board. I was worried about how people would treat me, because of the fact that I don't look like a typical English man. I got into my cabin and I started to unpack my suitcases when I noticed the man I shared a cabin with. I could see clearly that he didn't like me, but I was determined to change that so I started to communicate with him in order to get him to like me.  One evening we went to a dinner with a few people we had met on board. After a while I saw that the woman, who was sitting next to me, had a pearls necklace. I know a lot about pearls, so immediately I saw that it was a real pearls necklace and I said it out loud. Her husband Smiled and said that the necklace was fake and those are cultured pearls. We bet on 100$ if it was fake or not but when I saw the woman's face I realized that she probably lied to her husband. I felt sorry for the woman so I gave her husband 100$ note. The next morning I got a letter with the 100$. I was happy when I realized that i had done the right thing.
