Finish your projects. She did teach this by the example of never finishing projects, not by always finishing.

Friends are important. Tell them this however they best hear it.

Take care of your neighbors.

Follow what you believe.

Take care of family. Visit as often as you can.

Keep going.

Push yourself.

Make good first impressions.

Teach.

Volunteer.

Lots to learn, get started!

Consider their feelings.

Sacrifices now are worth it later.

Popcorn is a suitable meal.

Treat others how you want to be treated. That means like a responsible adult.

This is a wonderful list.

#15 made me laugh out loud. That's rare for me, so thank you.

And to quote the great classic Back to the Future, "Say hi to your mom for me."
