You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

I would be a better, faster, and more faithful writer of letters and e-mails, and returner of phone calls.

What I would do differently? When I went through school, I was in a hurry. I was an economics major as an undergraduate, and I was a finance major in graduate school. I was in a hurry to succeed when I got out in the business world. I’m sorry I didn’t take more courses in the humanities and in history and in the arts.

Nothin’. All my experiences, talents, wins, and L’s make me who I am today. I am constantly evolving, learning, and working toward not just being great, but also staying true to who I’ve always been—just a kid with a big dream from the LBC.

I’ve constantly been changing myself my whole life. I am what you would call “a piece of work” in progress.
