My 100 Things...

I'm sure you are just dying to know these random fun facts about me...

1. I am 27 years old.

2. I have the BEST job in the world. I teach adorable 3rd graders.

3. The school I work at is in a very bad neighborhood. Someone was shot and killed in our parking lot (thankfully not on a school day), there was a drug raid across the street from school that involved the FBI running into the house with guns drawn...I think you get the idea.

4. The kids are awesome though. I wouldn't teach anywhere else!

5. Going from a school in the suburbs to an inner city school is when you really realize just how much you can make a difference in the lives' of your students.

OMG I have to turn the channel when that Sarah McLauclan save the animals commercial comes on. If I sit and watch it, I will have tears streaming down my face by the time its over. Dan gets tears in his eyes too, which I think is hilarious, yet sweet.

Also, I have never had a massage, how ridiculous is that?

And your cloud blanket is a disgusting festering pile of germs. With blood on it. There's a reason your friends think it is gross. ;-)
