In reply to the discussion: If you could relive any year of your life,....what would it be? [View all]Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)41. 2008
It not only was the year America got it's first black president and the first time I could ever vote, but it was also my last year in high school. There were many opportunities that I now regret passing up. I regret not keeping contact with any of my high school friends, I regret not being more aggressive in pursuing girls, and I regret not trying harder to get a driver's license. Now that I'm in college, I don't know anyone anymore; I have literally nobody to hang out with in my spare time. Also because I made the mistake of waiting for the girls to come to me, I didn't get a prom date, and I had to look for someone online once I graduated high school. Shyness can really be a person's worst enemy in their adolescent years.

The summmer of 1951 - just before I turned five. Six, seven and eight were great too.
