If you really knew me


In an effort to get to know each other and trust each other, I'd like you to take a little risk and post five things that you'd like other people in the class to know about you. The quirkier/more unique and personal, the better.

Here are my five:

1. I hate the sound of a plastic spoon scraping against a plastic cup.

2. I prefer individual sports like jogging and hiking because I can't stand to disappoint anyone.

3. I choose each day to make a positive memory with my son and husband.

4. I am a minister's daughter and am thankful for my faith.

5. I wish I could live in a musical.

DUE: Thursday, August 21st by 1st hour.

  17. 1. I'm a debate kid, as some of you know. I spent 3 weeks this summer at the Jayhawk Debate Institute (Kansas University) learning how to tell people they're wrong.
    2. I do archery every week. I love it. Lord of the Rings has inspired a decent portion of my life.
    3. I've played piano for more years than I remember. I love trying to figure out how to play music from the radio on piano.
    4. I'm usually overly concerned about how people see me, but I'm most happy when I'm relaxed, social and spontaneous.
    5. I speak Spanish (kind of, I'm in Spanish III this year) and I'm trying to learn Swedish. "Jag talar Svenska, ja."

    1. Ryan,

      I love your number 1 thing, because I enjoy the way you phrased it, and also because I can hear you saying it out loud. I also think it's really cool that you're learning Swedish.
