Drive! Hands down it's learning how to drive.

I swear, never a week goes by that I don't thank the Lord for the ability to drive, and for my car.

I'm not a good driver by any means, and luckily, this rural town doesn't call for too much skill, but still, I am thankful to be able to drive.

 This is an toughy, I've learned everything above as you people have plus...perhaps surviival techniques, maybe ceramics....kintting and crocket after that....most important would be to read...reading can teach you about many things in the world and of the world...it makes you literate and writing helps you share your thoughts back also.
