Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

For almost 20 years I was stuck in a retail management job that I hated, but could not get out of because I started it right out of high school, and I had no other experience.

My motivation speaker son who had just graduated from high school said, “ Hey dad you have more education than most of the people you work with, you’re miserable, why don’t you use some of that advice yourself you’re always giving.”

The very next day I called a Florida University to find out if I met the requirements to get into graduate school. She asked if I had a 3.0 gpa. I said more.

I quit my job, with a soon to be senior daughter, no money saved, and nothing more than a praying wife who said you can do it. We will be here until you return.

At 45 years old, I found myself on the campus of Florida A&M University with that daring son whom I owe my happiness to. People my own age told me I was crazy for quitting my job. This is why you need some young people in your life.
