Fondest Memory: Arguing with a teacher at the age of 18 over receiving a B+ when deserving an A. The instructor's advice was to lighten up and don't be so hard on yourself. In retrospect, the grade meant nothing but I have heeded the advice over the years and during life's dilemmas I often hear those instructor's words.
