Who was your greatest teacher and why?
this one's easy, although it wasn't just one teacher. i was failing high school my freshman year and very unhappy with myself. at the end of the year they told me i was being moved into a program called connections. they said it was for kids who "were smart but didn't know how to apply themselves"
there were about 25 kids in the group and we all stayed together for 2 years. it was great for me beacuse i have trouble making friends but i had all those people as friends by the end of the 2 years. i went in with a gpa of like 2.0 or something like that and left with a 3.4
i'm still in contact with some of the teachers form that group, and even went to the wedding of two of them... my english teacher and my science teacher got married :)
If money and ability were no obstacle, what would be your dream occupation?
anything with animals. i'd love to work at an aquarium or a zoo or animal sanctuary or something like that
If you could live any time in history, what age would you choose?
this one is hard for me beacuse i dont know much about what was going on in different time periods.
as for how things are in terms of technology and music and everything, i'd saw now pretty much kicks ass, but i can't stand the current administration.
If you could be the opposite gender for one day, what would you do?
something obnoxious and immature, i'm sure :)
What was your childhood ambition?
to be a vet. that ended when i was 7 and learned that my old dog mindy didn't just die, she was put to sleep. and if i was a vet i would have to do that too.
i also wanted ot be a nurse, a mail carrier, work at a pet store, a waitress, and a boy.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In 10 years?
probably still in town. i'd say who i'd want to be with but i dont want to jynx it.
What would you say is your proudest moment, so far?
i have 4 awards that i'm proud of. they're the only 4 awards i've ever gotten in my life.
one is from my senior year in high school... i got first place in the art show for a ceramic sculpture i made... it's a big blue ribbon.
one was also form my senior year in high school, for an article i wrote and gopt published in the school news paper.
one is a certificut i got after i raised $1,200 for a organization that is sadly no longer up and running, patchworx
and the last one is a certificut i got at aids project hartford, where i volunteer, at the anual meeting where they hand out awards. it's thanking me for my 2 years (so far) of service
