Gosh, this thread is kind of sad. 8(
I sometimes wish I could go back but, I wouldn't change anything really. I am very happy with how my life turned out. I still wish I could find a challenging career but, I don't have to worry about that for a few more years.
I was also a very compliant child. I was very quiet and shy too. I remember misspelling spelling bee words so I wouldn't have to talk in front of my class.
When I was in fourth grade we moved to an army base for a few months and I went to school there. My Dad was in National Guard. The class literally was in the first grade soft cover reading books. It was like "here honey, do you think you can read this? 'Spot saw Jane throw the ball.'" I was reading Little Women at the time. The teacher acted like she never saw anyone read before. They finally had me reading with the sixth grade class but, it was a book I had had the beginning of third grade. I remember being stunned by this.
