Life Changes (Week 14)

If I could change any one moment in my life, to alter the where I am now, I would choose nothing. I am perfectly happy with my life as it is, and I wouldn't want to risk not meeting some of the people who are so important in my life. But since this is not an option, I would change a decision my mom made when I was in 1st grade, and I had no choice but to agree. I was offered the opportunity to be pumped up to 3rd grade, from 1st because I was more advanced than the rest of my class. I really wanted to take this, but my mom declined... With the excuse that I was already so much shorter than everyone, and that I wouldn't fit in. This makes sense, but if I skipped 2 grades, I could be a lot farther in achieving my life goals. However, that would also mean that I never would've made some of the friends, or life long relationships that I have experienced in my lifetime. So I am grateful of where I am now, but also believe it would've been an interesting experience to see all of the different people and events I would've encountered with that one small change in my life.
