[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not op. I did not either, but I am sure my kids born here would experience all these (just finger crossed no exposure to drugs, alcohol, bullying and violence in their public school years). I lived with parents when I attended UMCP and I took a bus to campus. I worked a bit on campus and off campus once I learned to drive. I came to America too late at age 18, and I was swarmed with all these cultural & languages differences. No one guided me or introduced me around. I was a bookworm girl back in Asian home country, so I was probably too well behaved and too boring to be hang out with. I did not know how to have fun. [/quote]

Pp here. To add, my company paid for me to study MBA as a part time student. I declined because I did not want to take leadership role (not my personality) and felt too tough to work ful time and do MBA part time. I took some art and music classes before I had kids, and it was kind of fun. Now my kids are doing everything from sports to scouts that I have never done or experienced, and I feel like I re-live my childhood in a fun way.[b] Once I retire, I may go back to college to take random classes.[/b] [/quote]
I have been thinking about this. I'm going to retire at 56.  I don't have much of a hobby so I was thinking about what I should do when I retire (kids gone to college/working).

I was thinking of taking piano lessons (I can play a bit but never formally trained) and language classes at the local community college.   Unfortunately, while I can appreciate art, I don't enjoy making art.[/quote]
