what would it be? I would definitely go back and not skip school, drank too much, gave my parents as much grief as I had and did a better job at high school.. what about you?

So, I take it that you like money and counting money too?
I used to work in a small shop where the GM was doing some monkey business running the company to the ground. The owners were forced to sell the company. Then these accountants came in to do due deligence and evaluate the books. They must have found something that they were the ones themselves that bought the company. Now, even though they don't know nothing much about the company, they are raking in the dough. They just replaced the GM with one of their trusted and knowledgable guys, and now they are booming.
I see a lot of dough to be raked-in, in your future snafushe.

Haha wow, the GM probably felt like a complete moron after that. I've always had a thing for crunching numbers, working with numbers, basically anything to do with financial things and numbers.. believe it or not I was balancing my parents cheque books for them and doing their taxes because they just didn't understand it, and apparently I did. Thats funny you say that last thing as my parents got my astrological chart and palm read when I was little and they said I'd always have money one way or another..

i used to think i would change right from high school. not get married right away - go to college and achieve my dreams--(my husband was abusive and controlling) but i know now that there are no mistakes or coincidences and i learned things i was meant to learn so i can help others. besides, if i changed that, i wouldnt have my wonderful daughter!

Congratulations, on getting out of a bad relationship. Not many women have that strength. You must be very strong to be able to talk about it now, and realize it wasn't anything to do with you! I love your outlook, and your daughter is very lucky to have such a strong mama!

well i definitely would not go back i dont want to change anything ...... i too had lot of troubles i too committed mistakes .....but the important thing is that i learnt from them .... i paid a good price for my mistakes and that made a different person today probably a better one ........ every person has a bad time in his life we r after all humans and we commit mistakes but we have to accept them and move ahead.... we can regret all r life only if we could go back in the past and change it but the truth is we cant.......all we can do is change our future it is in our hand .... i understand your problem i think you should think about the future make it big and better and ur parents will b happy and proud...........................
best of luck ................

It's good to have a attitude like you do ari! Never regret, never look back. I wish I could have that out look but I still feel a lot of guilt for the bad things I've put people through in the past. Just gotta keep looking ahead I guess. My Papa told me take things one day at a time, and maybe I'll try that, it would definitely help my stress levels!

I would definitely try better at school; score higher grade; and do my internship related to my field. I think that I wasted too much time and money on something that I really regretted on. I would definitely ask that girl go out with me, instead of pretending to be cool.

If i could redo something in my life, i would have stopped somebody i love from leaving me last year. i thought being practical about opportunities would be the best for the two of us but i was wrong about that because being separated by distance is what literally made me fall out of love for him. And i regret it a lot because not everybody has something that we had in our relationship.

Awwe. I'm sorry to hear about your lost love. I hate having a broken heart, it's probably one of the worst feelings there is, way worse then physical pain! You are also strong though, you took a chance and took risks, and that takes great bravery. I believe you will find someone that will understand and appreciate your ambition! If it's meant to be it'll last, love will wait. One of the hardest lessons I have learned through my life.

Thsi is from the bottom of my heart when I say this. I have to say I should have listened to my mom with the other things she kept teaching me and stopped contradicting her. I just miss being around her and look at where I am, it is okay but it was better back then when I was still with them. Even though I thought it was so hard there, I think it was still the best times ever.

I wouldn't try going back in life. I mean, sure, I've thought about all the
What if" of things had gone differently, but if they had, instead of being in a better position, I could end up in a worse position. Sure, some mistakes have been in which I constantly say wow I really "f*@@%" up, but all I can do is move on and hope I make better decisions as life progresses.
