Help! Please!

Hey all,

First off, i like the new boards!
don't know if you all remember me, but now that I am re-registered, i will be visiting the 'Life After' boards.

what I need help with is this:

Before I got kicked out of UPS driving school, I had to memorize, like all of you have, the All Good Kids Like Milk motto.
Well I am doing a Power point presentation in my business class and feel that driving safely would be a good topic, considering that 2 students had accidents since Thanksgiving.

What i need is the sub-points, like after the Aim High in steering main points.
I remember all the AGKLM points, but i got booted b4 I retained the sub-points. Appreciate it all, and hope your Christmas season is going as well as it can go.

I feel badly, really do, for the people I left behind this year there.
One of the girls that I supervised is in my business class and said it suks without me, but i think she is just being nice since she also asked me to be a reference for her.

take care, MojoBuc2

Can't help with your question, but welcome back! The drivers are all out late, but I'm sure you'll have an answer from one of them pretty soon.
