I still really don't get how the blurb is supposed to work, but I'll try my best to do it from what I got out of the lecture.

The very basics of life can change throughout time. Mark Gerving, like many people grew up in a big family. When growing up, some people had to share a bedroom with a brother or sister, but for Mark he had five others to share with. Through a life of hard work being a machinist, Mark has come to own his own 2,500 sq. foot house with a three stall garage for his Corvette. Every style of life has changed throughout the years, but its the ones that have to work for them that really tell the story.
