When I went to my first day of grade school we were seated alphabetically, so I wound up next to this kid from India. Being so noticeably different he didn't talk much to anyone, so within a month he was more or less shunned by everybody (including myself).\nOne day the teacher was out of the room and a spitball fight erupted, but as usual the kid from India just sat there doing nothing. About a minute into the chaos I saw him wad up an entire sheet of paper and stick it in his mouth. He didn't throw it, he just kept working it in his mouth until his saliva turned it into a pulp. When he finally let it fly it hit the blackboard with a splatt and left a mess of paper bits about two feet in diameter. There was a collective "whoa" from the rest of the class before the spitball fight continued, but this kid just sat there with a little grin on his face, saying nothing the whole time.\nNeedles to say I was incredibly impressed. To a six year old boy there's not a whole lot that compares to a perfect spitball, so I knew right  then that I just found a new best friend. \nI suppose when I look back, it was my friendship with this kid that first allowed me to open up to other cultures, and eventually to the beauty in other religions.\nIn a very real way, I owe my spiritual development to a spitball.

Everything that I have gone through has made me the person that i am today.  All the good things as well as the bad things.  Often times I wonder why bad things happen to me but they have all helped shape and mold me into the woman that I am today.  I lost both of my parents when I was nine and I was raised by my grandpa and I think he played an instrumental part in the person I am today.  I dont think like most people my age think because I was raised old school.  Most people say I am older and wiser then my years but  I think that comes from being raised by someone older who taught me the importance of values and morals and respect and honesty.  I am a strong intelligent black woman and proud of it.

My ideal moment and time was when my parents took me on a nice vacation and told me that this vacation is for you my son and they sat me down and thanked me for being who I am and thanked me for taking care them when everybody else turned away...It was a moment that I will never ever forget....It's just something you never expect your parents to say to you....and yes this is a great question!!!!!!!

I would say: "Who are you, to judge ME?" :))

A ghost, just cause' I could go anywhere I wanted too, and find a way to comunicate and help loved ones still on planet earth.\n\nAnd understand, and learn things that I didn't get while I was here, like why that happened this way, instead of that way in my life.

I would choose to be omniscient.\n\nIf I knew all, I would theoretically be capable of not only knowing 'why I am here', but be able to do anything.\n\n:-)

If I were to change one event in my life, I would choose this one instance in time to stand up for myself, despite all the pressure and fear. \n\nI would not be the same person I am today. I would have learned my lesson earlier instead of later. Even if I failed at the choices I made, it would have made all the difference to stand behind my decisions. \n\nI don't think I would look different.  \n\nI don't understand the last question. "only do it to one person"? You mean like avoid a person in my previous life? Well, I wouldn't do that. I'd choose to meet and engage in all the people and relationships I've met and engaged in so far. Of course, if I made the change, there would be people I wouldn't meet. But I wouldn't "only do it to one person ".

Personally I would stay who I am cuz we ALL got issues...I have complications figuring out how to deal with my own let alone someone elses.

I would spend every moment with my family.  I would make sure each person knew how much I loved them, and I would try to make great memories for them so they'd smile when they thought of me.

Five years ago my life changed dramatically.  I lost everything I wanted and had worked for... and in the process found everything I needed.  Sometimes the last thing in the world you think you want is the one thing you needed the most.

Time....I'd make a little more time for certain aspects of my life. Also a little more money to be able to have a few things that I really want. Nothing exhorbant but just some simple things.

Being able to respect myself and what I did in life.

I'd love to come back as myself, but.... with the same mental ability I have now. So I could experience being born, appreciate my childhood and parents more.\n\nIt would be cool knowing everything at kindergarden. \nwhen the teacher asks the class to draw a picture about the 'cat on the mat', you could write a 25 page thesis on the exploration of storytelling for development of children in early childhood.\n\nIt would be neato!
