Lazy Man had a posting on what he would tell himself if he was able to go back to the future. Since my 30th high school reunion is this summer, I thought the subject was a good one.
Here is what I would tell Hockey Mom:
Pay attention to the Komet hockey games. You are going to be spending a lot of time watching them in the future so you might as well get used to it. and learn the rules early.
Spend time with your Grandparents. Listen to their stories and write them down. Grandparents love you just because you are you.
Don't get mad at your Dad for telling you either you go to Valpo, or you pay for your own college, it is going to be a life changing experience for you.
Pay more attention to your brothers. I now they are annoying, but a little attention now will make a difference in their lives. Plus, years from now, you will be great friends (I know, this one is probably the hardest one to believe).
Straighten up. When you move to Minnesota, people will think at 5' 6" that you are tall. You just hang around a bunch of tall people.
Do the knee exercises that the Dr. gave you.
Don't be afraid to speak up, or tell someone how you feel. You will find that life is short and sometimes you don't get a second chance.
Save your money. The records you buy now, will end up in the closet under the stairs later. Put money in a savings account.
Keep your room clean. It will make Cindy happy. Believe it or not, later on, you will actually get along with her.
Give yourself options. Take the extra classes, do the extra credit. Work a little harder in school.
Believe it or not, the friends you have now, will still be your friends at your 30th High School Reunion.
