1. I know now how to stand confidently to give oral presentations, but I don’t have to take Speech class.
2. I know now how I should’ve handled myself on a date, but I am married.

Wish I had a mentor or parents who understood what I was going through growing up. Seems most of us had to tackle life, pretty-much on our own. C’est la vie.
