Good or bad, all things have been for my profit and learning in this life. So the next time you think you are dealing with some punk kid, realize that maybe, just maybe, they have experienced quite a bit in life such as:
winning and losing real fist fights
having a chronic, incurable illness
being married 3 times and divorced twice
sky dived/bungee jumped/swam with sharks
seen someone die
found and met a biological parent
been in a war
saved a child with the Heimlich maneuver
filed for bankruptcy
been hospitalized for 28 days straight and numerous week long stays
fired from a job
been shot at
been on food stamps
totalled a car
traveled to 13 countries
seen a child born
worked themselves through college doing both full time
