Paraphrasing
I’ve finally had a conversation with three very interesting people and we talked about what are their long terms or short term goals. The conversations we had we’re very interesting and now I will take this time to explain this to you as best as I can.

The second person I had a sit down with was with a person that I will simply call Ms. Lady. Ms. Lady stated that her goal was to go back to school to take up computers. I stated in my paraphrasing Billy Dee Williams voice do you want to go back to school so that you can learn more about computers? She stated that I was absolutely right. I also stated that if she accomplishes her goal then she can have a better understanding of computers and be
