Okay, here goes Hope's...
on growing up--watching my younger brothers and sisters wobbling around on their young feet and then falling down. Helping hands were made available to bring them back up to their feet. By this I've learned not to be a selfish person; and to reach out to help others when they are in need.
falling in love--my husband's amazing ability to love unconditionally is insprirational.
starting a career--just to understand that the sky is sometimes BEYOND the limit (meaning that anyone can be what he/she hopes to become)
managing your finances--go broke, folks, lol! Only then will you understand the value of providential living.
and enjoying the good life--it goes without saying, and through all of the above, do get to know the "Man," and His Son, upstairs!
Okay, good luck with yours!
