Things You'll Need:
- The following tools are recommended for the return home:
- 1. NERVE. It takes a lot of nerve to look backwards with fresh perspective.
- 2. Tenacity. It is best to cultivate a tenacious personality when odds get in your way.
- 3. Sense of Adventure. This is crucial as you must begin to see your hometown as a tourist, rather than as an outcast.
- 4. Caller ID. Once you arrive back in your familial land, you will want to screen those calls from all the relatives who want to chide and say they, "told you so...."
