“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” –Henry David Thoreau

Today’s posting is different.  I don’t think I am supposed to be as reflective or maybe I’m wrong.  I’m supposed to list different things about myself.  I have a list to follow.  Let’s see how I do with simple directions.

Share five random facts about yourself

1. I have beautiful feet.  No, really.  I do.  
2. I did not learn to walk until I was 14 months old.  Even at a young age, I was more cerebral than physical.
3. I hate dirty laundry if it’s not mine.
4. I really hate peanut butter and jelly in the same jar.  I hate peanut butter, but I really hate it when it’s mixed with jelly.
5. I have been hoping to get a twin brother or sister all my life.  I think it might happen before I die.  Anything is possible if you just believe.

Share four things from your Bucket List

1. Go on a mission trip.
2. Drive cross country.
3. Write a book.
4. Run in a 5K

Share three things that you hope for this year as a person or educator

1. Grow in my walk with Christ
2. Present at the ISTE Conference in Philadelphia
3. Go back to school and finish my doctorate

Share two things that have made you laugh or cry as an educator

1. Shaelinda’s death two weeks before she graduated.
2. Making the mistake of watching the episode of America’s Most Wanted when they talked about her murder.

Share one thing you wish more people knew about you

1. All I really want is to be happy and make a difference.  That’s all.
