I graduated college a year early, started my career teaching, began grad school, and married a wonderful man. And I'm only in my early 20's...I think if I told myself a few years ago what I'd accomplish by now, I wouldn't believe it haha. heffalump on "Do you think your childhood self would be impressed with what you've accomplished?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-childhood-self-would-be-impressed-with-what-youve-accomplished#post-50593 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:55:26 +0000 heffalump 50593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would have expected more kids by now, and I would have gotten married earlier.

I married a great man, have a wonderful son (and a baby on the way), own a house and have great friends. I'm not filthy rich but I never wanted to be anyway.
