5. "There is a girl at my college known for sleeping around a lot. About a year ago, I was drunk at a bar and saw her there. She saw me and she asked to dance. After about 4 songs worth of grinding or so, she quickly says "I have to go". I assumed she had a moment of clarity and left. She didn't go to the bar or any party for the rest of the semester. She made dean's list that semester. She hit rock bottom by simply dancing with me and it was enough to truly change her life."
