I had missed opportunities. My grandparents were from Poland but never
spoke it to us as kids but I wish they had when it was too late. I
picked up a few words from their conversations with my parents. In
high school I was given two years of Latin but now wish I would have
fought to take Spanish as it would have helped in real life.
