I Am an Expert In: Life and life experiences, volunteer work, and training in many fields. Also am an expert on high school life in my home town as my son and daughter kept me informed on who was pregnant, abused by parents or step parents, who was involved with drugs, had drinking problems, who was dropping out etc. (Hey, I also told them they could come to me with anything, I'd always listen and not judge).
