I've had a really blessed life with no complaints, however, if I could do it all over, I would have taken my education a bit more seriously. I did OK but could have done better.

to stick with my education when I was only 19. to manage and invest money and make wiser financial decisions and NOT get into debt. and to get sober and make amends to family members sooner.

Thank God we get second, third and fourth chances, because now I am going to school, now I am making wiser financial decisions and now i am sober and being kind to family.

God bless.

To keep in touch with classmates in the same and any complimentary field. Marketing a business is tough, and it's all about having the contacts and past relationships. Building networks takes years, and that is much easier to do in the college days... you just can never tell who will be the "go to guy" in a big corporation, or who will be your boss.

I wish I'd known how long it would take my husband to finish school and find a job. Then I would have gotten a degree that would lead to a job that I actually enjoy, rather than getting a degree that was fun but gave me a job I hate. I was only planning on working one year while my husband finished school, but I'm about to start my seventh year

To give my life to Jesus before the age of 46! I regret it so much for not doing it a lot sooner.

Nothing is a given, you must appreciate every moment, cause you never know when it is your last.

To enjoy every moment with people you love because death can be so sudden and so painful. We spent so much time discussing plans "when the kids graduate" never realizing their mom wouldn't even be here to see them graduate. I wish we had done things the day we had an opportunity to do them.

So I guess my biggest lesson is seize the day. I wish I had known that before my kids were born.

That it's okay to make honest mistakes when you're trying things -- that it's never the end of the world when those mistakes are made. I can't tell you how I wish I had known that sooner. I would have tried a lot more at a younger age.

More than that I wish I had known to trust the Lord more with my life instead of being such a control freak. I was never in control as much as I deluded myself into thinking. No one is. LOL!
