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 :scared: 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.:w00t:

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. :)
