October is a busy month. It’s fire awareness month, national popcorn popping month, national dental hygiene month (coincidence? I think not!), national breast cancer awareness month, national arts and humanities month, national disability employment awareness month and national book month. (Why are these all national months? Why does it matter? Which nation, for that matter? I digress.)
In this busy month, today is – apparently – the International Day of the Girl. As part of this CNN asked a bunch of notable women: “Looking back, what one piece of advice would you give to your 15-year-old self?”
It’s a good question. What would you want to tell your 15-year-old self?

Yeah, that would have saved a lot of heartache.

Yeah. My life has turned out okay, but since we’re playing “what if” that is what I wish my doctors and I had known. If it had been treated that way from the beginning I think things would have gone much more smoothly.

On a time line, your 15th year is very short. If it is horrible, it won’t last long. If it is fabulous, it won’t last long. Keep you sense of humor and your sense of perspective.

You have a sensitivity towards corn syrup.
You love patent law. Look into it.
