"If I'd Only Known" Grad Contest

Mom and Dad, we need your advice. Not that long ago, you were a high school graduate yourself—full of dreams, excited and scared, happy and sad all at the same time. You’ve learned a lot since then, and we’d like to find out how much. What are some things you wish you’d known on your graduation day? What advice do you have for today’s grads (if they’d only listen)?
To enter, please submit your advice for today’s grads and upload it, along with a photo from your high school years. (We think it will be fun to share a laugh about how hairstyles and fashion have changed over the years!)
Entries will be accepted until May 6, 2012, at 11:59 PM (CDT).
Share your entry with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter and email, and ask them to vote for your entry and share with friends.
Voting ends May 13, 2012, at 11:59 PM (CDT). At that time, the top 10 voted entries become finalists.
