If you could go back and change an event or experience as a teenager what would it be and why?

Wow... this one is making me dig into the memorybanks...

I have often wondered what would have happened if I had made Junior Nationals at the Zone Swim Meet in August 1983..  How far could I have or would I have gone? Instead I missed qualifying by a fingernail...Literally .01 of a second. I was so heartbroken.  I had worked so hard and my dream was gone.  I quit year round swimming not too long after that.  Didn't give up the sport completely... I taught swimming and coach several teams.  But I always wondered...Could I have made the Olympic team (that was my goal)?

I wouldn't have dated Don Bowman.  He took from me something I wasn't ready to give.  My brother wanted to kill him.  "Nuff said on that topic.

I wonder if I hadn't broken up with Tate to date Dan.  Would we have then continued to date at Auburn and then gotten married?  He was my  high school sweetheart. I hurt him in high school and he got me back in college.

Gonna have to think more on this!!
