I would be more confident. I've been working on it for years and I'm pretty confident professionally now, but not socially.

Stop being a worry-wort.  I have problem with not knowing and I worry about it.  It gets so bad I make myself sick.  I'm such a control freak.

Confidence - self assurance.   I was raised my a very strick Mother.  If I got 4 A's and 1 B, the question was why did I get the B?  She always found one more thing I could have done better.  Loved her dearly, but she set extremely high standards (ones that my older sister met, I was always a "B" away).  I am strong in some areas because of her, but confidence was not instilled in me.

Not be so judgmental. I don't voice it except to my husband, but I really don't like that part of my personality.

I teach high school students, and occasionally one will ask me, "Don't you wish you were 18 again?"  Heavens, no!  I don't want to have to live through those days again -- not even if I knew then what I know now.  Of course...30 wouldn't be bad... :rofl;

I wouldn't change anything. If you change things, then your not who you are now.. and your not going to have what you have in life now.. and I would not change anything in my life as I LOVE having my children, they are my world... my everything... and I am just blessed to be able to have had them, and spend as much time with them on this earth as I am allotted.
