Bloggreatgranddaughter Tink of Tink's Tribulations muses over the following question:

What advice would you give to your younger self?

"Do your homework."

If I'd followed that bit of wisdom, I could have easily graduated near the top of my high school class.

If I'd also handed myself a copy of "The Lively Art of Writing", (preferably somewhere in the 4th grade) I would've been AT the top. As it was, I didn't run across it until my Senior year. It was the book from which I first learned how to write essays, and it completely changed my life. Until then, I'd had now idea that there were actually learnable techniques to writing, and the bastards in charge of my public education never told me any different.

I'm still bitter about that.
