Pretend for one moment that you could actually go back in time and change one moment in your life. What would it be and why? Choose carefully though because one moment in time could affect your entire life and the lives of generations to come. For example..if you say you wouldn't have started your family so young, you wouldn't have the same children or if you wouldn't have married so young, you may not have the same spouse and again not the same children, etc. With that being said, I would have not lite my first cigarette. The only consequences from doing that would be good ones.I would be in better health, have saved thousands and thousands of dollars and perhaps my son would have never started smoking.

Hi Dazone! Well this is indeed an interesting question. Its true that if you change the slightest thing in your past, you or me might not be sitting at the computer right now 
!!!
Im not sure Id change anything. Oh sure Ive made mistakes, but arent we supposed to make mistakes so we can learn?
There may be one thing.....the second time my mom went to the hospital to see her surgeon, I would have made sure I went into his office with her. I was with her but she asked me to wait in the hall.......I shouldnt have listened to her. I should have listened to my gut feeling and ACT on it. But then again, maybe her outcome would have been even worse than it was.
So in the end, I think I wouldnt change a thing......not even not starting to smoke, because that too could change everything !!
My head hurts now from all this thinking lol.

Well, I am still relatively young, so I don't have much regrets, but if I could change one thing, it would have been to have done more stuff during my teenage years.
When I was 16, it seemed like I wasted far too much time trying to do well for my GCSEs at school, and not enough time for myself and having fun
