I know that I am far from perfect, but when it comes to life goals, etc...I feel like I have accomplished alot in my life already. I have two children who are polite, and have good heads on their shoulders, and I feel like I have made a difference for people.
There are other things I would like to experience, places I would like to see, but that is all extra.

I guess I'm as close to the end of my life as anyone here, so: based on the fact that I have raised two children through the days of race riots, civil rights struggles, and other difficult times without having ever taught them through my example ethnic or racial prejudice, or any form of dishonesty - I gave myself an A. I base that on personal satisfaction for indirectly having contributed to seven grandchildren and two great-granchildren, and having watched them grow into law-abiding and tolerant citizens of the world. At least the last two are potential good human beings at 2 and 4!
Well if I were to die right now, I would be pretty ticked-off about it (if I still existed enough to be ticked-off!). I haven't accomplished half of the things I want to.
I gave myself a C overall. I've grown up into person who I'm fairly happy with (although I still screw up with amazing frequency), but the growing up process of my first 20 years - more than 2/3 of my life thus far - brought my GPA down. I'd give myself a B for effort, though!

"Shana participates in class enthusiastically and does extremly well on tests but has trouble following directions and shies away from working with peers"....This was what was written on an actual report card from 3rd grade, and sums up pretty well my "real life" M.O. Give me a project or a crisis, I rock...it's the day to day stuff that gives me trouble. Overall, I give myself a "B"
