Things You May Not Know About Me...

1) I am secretly quite shy. Teaching allows me to be myself and unleashes my inner child.
2) I once acted in Dinner Theater.
3) I worry about my back. I think some days that I might end up in a wheelchair before too long!
4) I once wrote a teen novel that was 250 pages long. (I never finished it!)
5) I hate bullying! I realize almost everyone has done it. This probably stems from being bullied rather severely when I was your age!
6) I generally prefer the company of cats to people.
7) I have a secret desire to be a famous actor-I would love to play a villain!
8) I consider my class this year to be like my family.
