Once I was....., now I am..... - Essay

Hello,

I was hopping that some one can give me an idea. I was given a sentence "Once I was..., now I am...." I need to fill in the blanks. But sentences like "Once I was a kid, now I am an adult" or "Once I was a student, now I am a teacher" won't work. I want something interesting. Once I fill in the blanks I would have to write a little bit about what I was before, and what I am now. If you have any interesting ideas, I will be happy to hear them.

Thank you in advance.

Greetings!

I like this kind of assignment, because it gives you the chance to be creative -- and even humorous. There are several ways to do this. You could go for contrast:

Once I was a shopaholic, now I am broke.
Once I was an optimist, now I am a realist.

Or use words in a humorous way:

Once I was delusional, now I'm institutional.
Once I was static, now I'm electric.
Once I was a mushroom, now I am a fun guy.
Once I was always right, now I am still always right. :-)

Hope these ideas will get you started!

Thanks,
