I'm going to go with a personal event and a random musing.
First I'd go back in time and tell myself not to piss all the money I was making as a bartender away on bar tabs and gambling.
Then once I was done kicking my own ass I'd head back and tell my parents to invest in Intel when it was a start-up company.
I'd like to say that I would go back and change some world-wide event, but in honesty, I wouldn't even know how. How does one person stop 9/11 without being the crackpot standing on the corner with a sign screaming at the top of his lungs, how would one person warn the Navy about impending disaster at Pearl Harbor. Sure you could tell them that you were from the future and that you knew exactly how things were going to unfold - and most likely that would get you a straight jacket and a trip to the rubber room.
I think it's easy to say, I'd go back and kill Hilter before he murdered millions of people, but really, I couldn't even imagine what might take his place - always potentially something way worse.
I suppose I could take the formula for certain vaccinations back into time. But with my lucky my curing Small Pox years earlier we'd all be dying of a super-virus right now with no known cure.
I don't believe in pre-determined destiny, but I do know that on occasion bad things needs to happen, and some other things, no matter how much I would like to change it, are beyond my control.
