How did you learn to iron?

I learned it from my mother using the old fashion heavy iron with charcoals in it when i was ten years old but i only started to really do my own ironing when i was in first year high school and i just loved to hang and look at my finished work, my perfectly pressed school uniforms with pleated skirts! I learned all the basic housework from my mother. Well, she taught me well that i never thought of looking for books in search for ironing techniques (but when it comes to cooking, i am badly in need of a more advanced learning! ) I don't like wearing a badly ironed pair of slacks and maybe that's why i persist on ironing my own office uniforms (even when i am having a hard time with the black pants because of my poor eyesight) just to avoid offending anybody who might carelessly do it for me because i'll choose a wash & wear type of blouse and jeans than a double-creased slacks and sleeves! Does that make me over-reacting to a minuscule detail?

I learned to Iron only when i reached college few days before graduating. it's nice because i get to do it myself rather than having some one else to do it so that my clothes won't be a burden to them.
