The Same Person Twenty Years Apart

Yesterday I met a man trying to get his High School Diploma in an adult education class. He had his chance when he was a teenager. He let that opportunity go, but here he goes again.

He says that he needed more direction when he was younger. Now he knows more things and seems determined to get his GED diploma. For those that may be reading this and are not Americans, GED stands for General Education Development, and is an alternative for a whole course of high school classes.

How could four years be equivalent to one day of tests?

That is up to the employer to decide, after all life is complex.

I ask myself, is this man the same person that let the opportunity pass him by twenty years ago?

My answer is no. Each one of us dies and is reborn in the course of the sixty or more years that we live.

Until we die, there is always another chance.
