-: The biggest impact was showing me where
my shortcomings were.
And one of my biggest shortcomings was
I didn't always do a good job of accounting for
change when I needed to.
And I think part of that's
just my upbringing in the military.
You get so focused on,
"Okay, this is the way we're gonna do something,
"we're gonna go there."
Well, that doesn't always work out.
Sometimes, you gotta make an adjustment,
you gotta make a course correction.
I've gotten much better about that
since I've been here at UMUC.
Because it used to be, you know,
"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."
I've gotten much better about, you know,
making those course corrections when they need to be made.
That's something that I have really gotten much better at,
and UMUC working here
has really helped me kind of adjust to that.
