Commencement once again

Commencement once again
I don't know where to begin; trying to go back and modify the original commencement will is the most challenging of all the blogs so far. Trying to find a way to rewrite the commencement has been troubling me for days I put a lot of thought into it the first time. Now, I don't seem to have any ideas on what I would do differently, I looked a lot of things I wish I had done differently throughout my life. I stopped and looked my life and realized many things I had not accomplished and why that was the case.
It took me getting away from home to realize where I wanted to go in my life. I set a new course I decided to try new things and I never looked back. I began to make new plans for ways I could improve my life by focusing on the little things. After all, it's the little things that make all the difference, and those add up to the major changes; if I knew then what I know now I would have stayed in school. Although I tried very hard to succeed the cards were stacked against me; I had to fend for myself each and every day just to make it through. I dropped out of school twice before completing the 12th grade. I joined the military to turn my life around. I quickly realized that I had to take care of myself because no one was there to look after me; it wasn't always easy but I made the best of it when I could. I spent a great deal time analyzing my life and the things I had done wrong; looking for ways to improve. I always tried to mentor others and teach them from my mistakes the things I learned along the way. It's this reflection that I was able to use to write my commencement speech. Even to this day, I ask how can I improve on some of the things I've done; I lead my life striving for continuous improvement. The military is taught me a great deal but I still have a great deal more to learn. I go through life with my eyes open continuously looking for a better way to do (even the small) things. I often ask myself how can I do things better or more efficiently. I constantly evaluate my processes and often find new ways to do things that I've done for years and years. I never feel there is one single right way to accomplish something because if you begin to feel this way you're unable to see possible improvement. I've designed and built hundreds of shadow boxes during the last decade, but I still find new ways to improve the design (aesthetics), functionality, or both. It's this continuous improvement that drives me; it fulfills my life. It's been a long road and as I look back I see many things that I like to have done differently it is those things I often pass on to others.
