I am to share seven facts about myself, so here goes:
1. I have wanted to teach since second grade.
2. Most of my pets are/were named after a sports star, or a stadium.
3. I love photography, and would love to do it professionally when I retire from teaching.
4. I love to read. Currently reading Rick Riordan's Son of Neptune, Book 2 of Lost Hero.
5. I sat through two severe storms in a stadium, never leaving my seat. Once at a State Track Meet, and the other was at Wrigley Field during a tornado warning. Quite an experience, but not recommended!
6. I met my husband at my sister's wedding reception.
7. Although I don't look anything like the runner I used to be, the sport of running has played a significant role in my life.
With so many of these awards floating around in recent days, I am going to hold off on awarding this prize to others, until I can assess who hasn't received it already, and recognize some newbies as a way to encourage them.
