I've had a couple pretty tough years in my life and for some time I never thought it would get better. I lost a parent a few years back and just shut myself down for a good while. Did nothing but play video games because that's how I coped with the situation and just failed school all the time cuz I didn't care.

After years of giving up, I met my girlfriend and she helped turn my life around. I started to actually do things again and go out and I ended up getting my High school diploma! I thought I'd never get it! I then was able to get a job at a Ralph Lauren store, (My favorite brand) and have become a Manager there after putting in work for a year! Pulling doubles left and right for months to prove myself.


All in all I was able to finally purchase my dream watch from Ralph Lauren's Automotive watch collection which the cost is $5,300.00

Granted I received my employee discount, I'm still happy I was able to purchase and afford something I've been dreaming about for so many years.


Mostly, I'm happy that life has turned around. From being in my room everyday and never leaving the house to being with a wonderful girl, moving States and being a manager at my favorite brands store. I'll post the picture of my watch down under.

I hope I didn't bore any of you, It's just that my life has turned around so much for the better and I'm happy to tell my TTG family about it and my accomplishments!


Here is the watch

Quite inspiring to be honest!
i Lost my grandmother and she was everything to me! Ended up playing games and getting kicked out of school, til I met my girlfriend. Now Ive changed my life for the better, I'm in college studying sports and play Football (Soccer) for my National team and playing for Cardiff City FC!
As soon as a path is guided for one anything is achievable!
I thought I was going no where in life but now I have opportunities, thanks to the positive attitude from my girlfriend!

I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm super glad your life took a turn for the better! It feels good when life gives that 180 degree spin and goes from bad to good.

That's a very nice looking watch. I got a watch for Christmas as well, it's just a Fossil Q watch but it's pretty amazing. I just recently got into wanting to wear watches so that gift was amazing.

Anywho, congrats on the watch and on the job!
