Well, HI!

10 questions you MUST answer (at least before the end of the school year!)In all my vast life experience, because I am OLD (pushin' forty hard!) I have had three former employers make me write what they called an "elevator speech". The concept is this: You must know a few things about yourself well enough to be able to introduce yourself and allow another person to get a "feel" for you in the time it takes to go from the first floor to the fifteenth floor in your standard, average corporate-America elevator.
The best place to start is right here, right now, with these 10 questions. I will now answer these questions and ask you to ponder your own answers as we prepare to meet and begin this journey into the wonderful realm of literature, writing, grammar, and reading!

1. What is the most important thing you've ever done?
Admitted I was wrong.

2. Most meaningful, life-changing film you've ever seen?
Finding Nemo...so much understated, cavernous wisdom from those fishies!

3. Name one belief that defines you.
I believe that if you judge a book by its cover you usually miss a great story!

4. Best book you've ever read.
To Kill A Mockingbird

5. Your favorite word. Why?
Homecoming. Because you find them at every stage of your life and they are always amazing, meaningful, and eyeopening. Plus I really like the hard "c" sound that comes after the soft "m" and that precedes another.

6. Your least favorite word. Why?
Depart. It sounds as harsh as it always is.

7. What do you want to be remembered for?
Always being brave enough to at least try.

8. One thing you would never, ever do, for any amount of money.
Sell out my faith, my family, and my self-respect.

9. What is one thing you would do if you knew you would never get caught?
Hack into the CIA computer and find out all the dirty little secrets!

10. If you were a character in a movie, who would you be and why?
Indiana Jones, only I'd spend more time digging and reading and less time wallowing in snake pits and sewer tunnels. I would be Indiana Jones because he gets to travel, gets to teach and never has to worry about what to wear..
