I do regret a lot of my earlier school experience. I was in a very bad place mentally, and was not very self-aware. I also have a real tendency to avoid things which are difficult, which only made things worse and worse.

I'm trying hard to rectify things now. I'm not perfect yet (my grades tend to be lower than they could be), and sometimes the past comes back to bite me. I do my best to own up to it though and move forward. I've spent a lot of time dwelling and lamenting, but it doesn't seem to do me much good, so I'm starting to learn to let go. I know I'll graduate later than I would have liked and not with the degree I wanted, but I've still learned it's never too late to improve oneself. If we struggle for it things can get better. I hope to still be doing this when I'm 80.

Best of luck to all of you as well.
