When Jose saw his old companies, the great degree of his change was underlined even more. The way Paola Bocardo responded aptly caught the shock experienced by people familiar with his former life. "Jose helps me to park my car every day. When we saw him after his make-over we didn't recognise him," her comment underlined the remarkable degree of his transformation. Beyond the physical metamorphosis, though, her comment of him as "a wonderful person" addressed his timeless nature under the outward changes. Jose was now setting his sights on more significant life changes, expressing his desire for "a proper job," so demonstrating his awareness that the makeover could be a stepping stone to more meaningful life improvements. His own attention had moved beyond just maintaining his new appearance.
