You don't have to change anything about yourself. It can be anything!

Answer 1

My parents because my dad molested and abused me and my mom didn't protect me.

When I told my mom what my dad was doing she told my dad what I had said and they both took turns beating me because he said I was lying so my mom believed him.

Answer 2

Columbus comming to the new world. Colonization of the western hemisphere was probably the largest event in the history of civilization. One can only wonder what this part of the world would be like if it's original inhabitants had been able to keep their land and develop their own culture and nations.

Answer 3

Rosalind Franklin would have a Nobel Prize for discovering the Structure of DNA

Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), a graduate in physical chemistry, had been working since 1947 on x-ray crystallographic methods at the Central State Chemistry Labs. in Paris. She helped found the science of high strength carbon fibres that found application as graphite rods in nuclear power plants. As an expert on x-ray crystallography she was head hunted in 1951 by John Randall, of the Medical Research Council Biophysics Research Unit at King’s college, London, to work on an x-ray picture of DNA taken by a graduate student Raymond Gosling. The working relationship at King’s college did not get off to a good start because of a misunderstanding. New Zealander Maurice Wilkins (1916-2004), a physics graduate and member of the Medical Research Council Biophysics Research Unit, who had been working on nucleic acids and x-ray diffraction of DNA, was away on holiday when Franklin arrived. Gosling, his second in command, stood in for him at the first office meeting and, since no work had been done on DNA for several months, it was all given to Franklin. Franklin was the kind of person that once they are given something to solve they keep it to themselves until it is complete; not the way that Wilkins liked to run the lab at King’s college. When Wilkins returned he thought that Franklin was a high class technical assistant who was to supply the team with experimental data for it to analyse. This was not to be. Relationships were strained between Wilkins and Franklin, whereas Gosling got on with them both. Thus the seeds were sown for a rough ride for all concerned.

To solve the structure of DNA four ideas had to come together. That the phosphate backbone was on the outside, bases on the inside. That the molecule was a double helix. That the strands were antiparallel. That it had a specific base pairing.

Franklin soon found out that by bundling super thin strands of DNA and zapping them with a super fine x-ray beam there were two forms of hydration — the A form (easy to photograph) that is dry and the B form (hard to photograph) that is wet. Her B form photographs showed a fuzzy cross which meant a helix. Since the water would be attracted to the phosphates in the backbone, and the DNA was easily hydrated and dehydrated, she guessed that the backbone was on the outside and the bases were on the inside. The first part of the problem was solved.

Answer 4

I would never have given my parents any money and would have saved it for my family. From the time that I was 11 years old on until I met her.

Answer 5

I would stop my friend from getting on his 4 wheeler onthe day he died b/c i mis him dearly and it just isn't the same without him.

Also his death caused alot of sadness and pain for all of his family and friends and it would be better if they never had to o through that.

Answer 6

hmmmmmmmmmm

I don't think like that much, I try to stick with only what IS possible

much less to consider when you prune that tree

hmmmmmmmm

I guess maybe if the girl I liked in HS had just wanted me instead of rejecting maybe, She said she loved me and I made her feel so virginal and all that crap, then she just left me and didn't say why.

It is the day life as I once knew it ceased to exist. Now all I am left with is emptiness.

Answer 8

I would go back to Fiesta Texas and ride the rides without being a scaredy cat.

Answer 9

I'd change how I treat people. I mean maybe if i treated people better in the past that were my real friends I wouldnt be much of a screw up as I am today. Maybe if I would have picked my friends better I wouldnt have became addicted to smoking or stole money for drugs. So thats my regret in life and if I could change somthing it would be who I wanted my real true friends who cared and lvoed me would be,

Answer 10

I would kill my parents before I was born, so that my existence would have no beginning, and therefore would have no end, making me immortal... since my parents would not have conceived me, I couldn't have gone back in time to kill my parents... at least, that's how it works on paper. On MY paper -- the paper of truth.

Then again, I don't want to kill my parents.

Answer 11

I would change nothing. For everything that came before this day is what has made me what I am today.
