What single piece of wisdom would you like to leave for the next generation?
Share your life with those younger than you are. Help them through the rough spots and encourage them to share with those younger than they are. Be there for people. Life is so much more than material things. Invest your time in the lives of friends and family.
How have you changed since high school?
I look pretty much the same as I did in high school. I still have thick long hair.
