On a beautiful late summer afternoon, fifteen years ago, two young women graduated from the same university. These two young women are very much alike as students both had very good grades; both had a pleasant personality and were well-mannered. As it is with young university graduates both were filled with ambitious dreams and both looked forward to a bright future.

Not too long ago, these two women returned to the university where they graduated from for their 15^th reunion. They were still very much alike both were happily married. Both had four children. And both as it is, had set up their own businesses.
