You have a 10 minute speech to give at a high school, what is it about?  Please listen to your parents.  They really do know what they are talking about and life is so much easier if you listen to what others are trying to tell you and help you with instead of doing the wrong thing and learning the hard way.  Stay in school and go ahead and get your education out of the way.  Get married and have kids in that order.  Enjoy every little moment you can.  You will regret it when you get older if you don't.  


I think that is enough questions for right now.  Probably too many to be honest, but I enjoy doing them and I hope that you enjoy reading them.  I also wish that some of you would take some of the questions and answer them in the comments section.  Until next time...
