Cece, a college professor sets up her for her classes lecture, she begins to watch pictures on a projector scene of her as a child. Enter Amber her longtime friend that she has invited to speak to her Life Skills 101 class. The women have been friends since middle school when Cece helped Amber not get caught for stealing at the local convenience store. Cece was the “good girl” in the friendship and Amber was the girl from the broken home. These two women were not supposed to be friends, but the longevity of their friendship defied all expectations. It is in a hotel room when the women reconnect after a few years of not communicating that Cece reveals that her life has not been the perfect fairytale that she presented it to be. Through a scene that deals with the affects that family can have on one’s ability to function and a suicide attempt we see these two friends have each other’s backs in the most difficult of times. As the class files into the auditorium and Amber speaks we hear her testimony about being able to face all of the hardships of life and survive them, while Cece stands next to her and shares her stories as well we see these women assist the classroom of college students who have not yet begun this next chapter of their lives see that right now is the time to decided what your future will look like. Sometimes the best life lessons are taught by people who have drowned in the deep end and were able to survive.
