Remembrance of childhood...
|
besides being
put in the dryer by my evil older siblings? How about the family
vacation in the station wagon with the wood paneling across the USA -
twice? |
|
Remembrance of being a teenager...
|
trying to
balance school, sports, after school clubs and work - and trying to
remember to sleep... And the drive thru of McDonald's with my older
sister. She made me buy her fries every time we drove by a McD's - and
there were three McDonalds in our town. |
|
My favorite teacher:
|
How can I
choose? All those who loved what they did. Mr. DePino, my high school
physics teacher, seems to still be a great influence - he was a
physicist who became a teacher because he WANTED to - and he really knew
his subject matter. He inspires me to be at his level. |
|
Why did I want to be a teacher?
|
One can teach
any where in the world - and I knew I wanted to be able to go any where.
I first taught in Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer and discovered I
actually enjoy teaching and the interaction with others in the
classroom. |
|
What do I do for fun?
|
read in my
hammock, plant my garden, relax by a body of water, knit, laugh, train
for triathlons, and watch my students play sports. |

|
Something that people don't know about me... |
I am secretly
an overachiever. |
