Commonality: Each one conceals a story that you wouldn't expect.

Story: A young man who realizes that his focus on money and objects brings him no happiness, walks by a library with the artwork on it. He stares at it for a while and comes to the realization that he has been ignoring and undervaluing the world around him. When he goes back home to his house in Connecticut, he sees a photo of his grandpa and his friends in an alleyway in The Bronx, New York. This photo reminds him that curiosity about the world and other cultures is what he has been missing in his life. He decides to take a semester off from college and explore the world and adapting a new framework to his purpose in life. His family becomes upset with him for skipping a semester, but he doesn't listen to them. He first travels to Egypt and meets a fisherman who takes him on a boat ride on the red sea. He stays in Egypt for the semester but misses home and returns to his home in Connecticut. He takes a trip to a secluded place called Bear Lake in Utah and discovers the shake shops it is most famous for. While traveling to Salt Lake Airport, he makes a stop in Salt Lake to watch a Salt Lake Bees game and the rusty fence reminding him of the great experiences he had playing ball himself.
