: About Me

I have four national awards (United States Achievement Academy for Phys. Ed. in 8th grade, and Who's Who Among American High School Students in grades 10, 11, and 12).

I have five career diplomas:
2001 (Harcourt Learning Direct) Wildlife/Forestry Conservation
2002 (Stratford Career Institute) Gardening/Landscaping
2002 (Stratford Career Institute) Manage Your Own Business
2002 (Thomson Education Direct) Veterinary Assistant
2002 (Stratford Career Institute) Health and Fitness

In 2006 I completed an Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies from Ashworth College.

I enjoy writing. I have a book titled 'I Want to be President, and another titled 'Rednecks in Family Are Closer than they Appear' completed. I also have multiple books in the works. I have a book of poetry, and a series of horror books. With the President book each chapter discusses another major topic in modern America and how I would tackle each one. There is a chapter of new laws I would pass and an explanation of why, as well as an Inaugural Address and a couple State of the Union Addresses.

I'm not a millionaire, nor am I anywhere near it. If I were ever to run for President, I wouldn't pay my way into office, I'd either win it honestly...or lose.

My hobbies include collecting coins and stamps, and puzzles (I'm trying to save to get all of the 'World's largest' puzzles. I have three, I need two).

I love children, but I can't have any. I hope to someday do something that makes a difference in the life of at least one child.

I have a personal project that I started a while ago that I call The Classroom Project. This project, when completed, will have six years worth of ideas for a variety of courses. Each year for each course is to have a different midterm, different final, different projects,different weekly trivia questions, and different report topics for each of the six years to try and help take care of the cheating in schools (because the first time an assignment is repeated, it will be the seventh year).

My passion is ...

children, and my writing.

My parents always told me ...

"You'll never make it anywhere in this world."

My childhood ambition ...

was to become a teacher or an archaeologist

My favorite memory ...

was when the minister said the words "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

Why I write ...

It's my way of letting out all my anger when I've had a bad day. I'm more outspoken and opinionated when I'm really upset.I figure it's better to turn my anger into creativity than to become violent.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reba (sitcom on Lifetime)

My first job ...

was working in a meat department at a local country store.

My best moment ...

is when my husband says "I love you."

My inspiration ...

was my parents' negativity towards me. I decided to prove them wrong and do better. Prove them both wrong and make liars out of them. Push myself to succeed to show them all that I am better than them. Instead of letting their negativity hold me back, I decided to take it and run with it, letting it make me a stronger person.

I have a personal project in the works that I call 'The Classroom' project. I started this project as a personal enrichment (or fulfillment) exercise. This project will cover 39 different subjects, and probably take years to complete. My goal is to come up with six years worth of work for each class...to make it harder for students to cheat. Each subject will be guaranteed to have six years worth of midterms, finals, projects, and research papers, as well as a Trivial Pursuit game. Actual assignments, vocabulary, and weekly trivia questions may repeat before the six years are up. There wil...
