1) I was accepted to West Point but, at the time, the commitment of it & then 4 years or possibility more & the Marines being my career was too daunting. I decided to just goto a local college instead. By the time I realized that the service was the right thing for me, it was too late.

2) At the same time, I recevied a full ride to UCLA Business School, which is a very difficult business school to get into. I decided that moving clear across the country away from every person I knew wasn't something I wanted to do.

3) Not getting to be a part of my daughters life before she passed away. Long story & I won't go into it, but needless to say, THAT is the biggest regret of my life....something I still deal w/ everyday.
