I suggest that you reflect on your own life changing experience. Like the first time you play an instrument and you are a well known musician now. Or the first time you build a robot/toy building and you are a great engineer now. Something that inspired you to be what you are at the present. Then for the romantic side, you can add that while you discovered this things, this is also the time that you meet someone special and who you will love for the rest of your life... Just the basics my dear.. But then again, it's all up to you.

Spoiled wealthy girl joins a missionary trip with her church to go do social work out into the Native American reservations in New Mexico. After helping these people, she realizes just how much she and her friends have and begins to change and address the issue of poverty here in the US. ------------------------------------------ HIV positive man tries to survive life in a small town despite the prejudice in the early 1990's. ------------------------------------------- A somewhat bitter man is a contract worker in the coal mines in the deep south. While working at this location he befriends a young woman who falls in love with him, but he is in the middle of try reconcile with his exwife... the young woman never realizes how he truly feels - until a letter is discovered in his wallet after he is recovered from a mine collapse. ------------------------------------------- An older gentleman who no longer believes in love in any form befriends a younger woman whose unique outlook on life enables him to open himself up to others again -------------------------------------------- Maybe cheesey, maybe overdone, but all of these are things I have personally experienced except for one and I can honestly say that they were life changing for me... hope that helps?
