Work harder when I was in High School. I have been blessed with tremendous verbal communication skills. While this is extremely advantagous, it was also to my detrminent, as I relyed too heavily on my power of persuasion to get me through things. Unfortunately it did and instead of maximizing my abilities, I have taken the short cut in too many things.
As you can tell by many of my posts, writing is not a strength. I omit words left and right.
