Did your education prepare you for your career or occupation?
Not at all. What you major in is not always what you do for a living.
A little introspection...
To me, being successful means...
Being happy and content with who you are and what you do.
My definition of success has changed over time.
Being successful used to mean being accepted by everyone and following the status quo. Looking back, loving life, family and yourself is all that counts and with it comes success in everything one does.
My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
My greatest accomplishment was to be the first person in my family to earn a college degree and pay my own way through.
My biggest mistake or regret so far and what I’ve learned from it
I regret not enjoying being young as much as I should have. High school was fun for me. I tried to grow up too fast and didn't slow down to enjoy myself to the fullest.
