Last weekend I took a bus to New York City. As I took the window seat and wore headphones over ears, I almost didn't _______ an elderly man sitting beside me. The elderly man asked me a simple question _______ the bus' s WiFi connection, which turned into a two-hour _______.
We talked a lot about my dreams, my fears and my life. I _______ more with this stranger on the bus than I have with any friend or family member in months. Maybe it is because I am _______ to let anyone I know close to me. I was _______ that the stranger was not only deeply interested in getting to know me, but also just willing to _______ me to my greatest abilities. Instead of politely _______ his head when I mentioned my major, he told me that my strong liking seemed to be psychology, but not the one I was studying and that he fully understood my _______ for the failure.
This elderly man made me ________ the plans that I had made for my life. He helped me realize that my carefully ________ plan for the next five years of my life wasn't all that good, but actually complex and filled with ________ . Most of all, he helped me ________ the complex rather than stay away from it because of my fear for the unknown.
A few days later, he emailed me, saying, “I think you' re ________ for great things whatever you decide to do.” The email, filled with words of encouragement made me realize that life is sometimes ________ but it is going to be okay.
