Fifteen days… Wow, only 15 more days.  I remember when I turned 15 years old.  I thought the number sounded soooo much older than 14.  Being only one year away from sweet 16 and the ability to drive a motor vehicle gave me a little skip in my step and caused me to feel an overwhelming sense of confidence.  HA!  Tell me that wasn’t ridiculous...
