If you could go back in time and choose a different path would you? what would you change.

I'm 21, my biggest regret is I bullsh!tted my way through high school and didnt give college any thought because i couldnt. I started off so bad in High School it would take a miracle to get anywhere. By the time i got into 12th grade i had been to 5 schools in 4 years (3 in GA and 2 in PA) so i just decided to drop out and get my GED. which to my surprise was extremely easy. I immediately went in to a community college in which i was at the top off my class and then i decided to move to NYC. if i could do it all over i would have actually tried in school...and maybe did more
 
I'm 19 years old right now and as for me I wouldn't change anything. Yeah I missed out on some great things. But I am happy with who and where I am right now. There is no telling where I would be if I went back and changed things.

I didn't push myself in high school. I just took the easy classes. My life at that time revolved around the fire service. I don't plan on going to college and get degrees, that's just not who I am. My views are different from alot of people's on this site but that's how I was raised and who I am.
 
Medical school instead of medic school. That's about it for me.
 
I would of went straight to EMT class instead of a semester for one program, 2 semesters in another school for a different focus, then a semester for medical assisting.

I kept searching for what I wanted, and nothing felt quite right.

I just kept telling myself I wasn't strong enough for EMS. I wish I would of had more faith in myself.

Why is searching for what you want regretful if you didn't know what it was to begin with?

That sounds like success to me.
 
I failed to get into the Marine Corps due to a slight medical condition. I never thought I could try again, or work with the recruiters to see if I could try again.
My HS years were a wasted time for me...I should have applied myself better. My plan was 20+ years in the Corps, and them something in Police work after that.
I'd have 20+ yrs in by now.....

However, I wound up becoming a mechanical engineer, got married to the best woman ever, and have two very cute kids. I'd say my life is better now because I DIDN'T get into the Marines.

No regerets, just some obligatory laments.
 
My life is full of regrets. Too many to list. I've really been an idiot and done a number on myself.

I wish I would have done my EMS training after I finished high school which was in the mid to late 1980's instead of in 2008.
 
Not been so damn shy growing up. That really is my biggest regret.
 
I'd have been stopping billy goat gruff and lived under a bridge.
 
My biggest regret, is not realizing that I would grow up to regret some of my decisions, until after I grew up... and realized I really regretted them. :unsure:
 
I'd have not gone in the military, not gotten involved with my daughter's mother nor the sociopathic ex-girlfriend I've been dealing with lately and I would have completed school by now. Then again, if I had done that approach, I wouldn't have Kat in my life most likely and therefore, I guess it was all worth it in the end.
 
Without having done the things I regret, I wouldn't be the person I am.

I do wish I had appreciated more the time I had when we were newly married with no kids. Instead I squandered that time being a negative, hateful person. Now, I'm just all the more thankful for a positive mental attitude that shows up each day as a miracle from God.

So we've led similar lives... lol.
 
It's tough to say, I'm only 21 so I haven't had much time for regrets. But I would say never going out with my ex, or anyone for that matter. And to start thinking about medical school earlier in life.

i wanted to be a pediatric oncologist but i wasnt patient enough for school i was always about the quick money
 
It's best not to think about it. But you're 21? And you, 19 year old, shut it. You're still super young and unless you've been a criminal can do whatever at this point.

I'd go back and become a LEO at age 20.5. That or choose a "real" college major like Biology.

It doesn't matter what age, people have lived different lives and even 19 year olds can have regrets. There are things that they would like to do over, even though they may have plenty of time to go down a different path. Perhaps you should think about that before being so disrespectful.

Age has nothing to do with it. I'm 23 but have a ton of life changing regrets. Your child hood and young adulthood might have been sunshine and roses but that doesn't mean everyone's was.
