    1. I've got a BS in biology and plan to go into naturopathy.
    2. I've done tumor research before and have published papers.
    3. I like animals. I got 4 dogs, 1 cat, and lots of fish.
    4. I like to garden and grow unusual and/or rare plants among other things.
    5. I like hot chiles a lot. I used to think jalapenos were hot. Then I moved onto serranos. They got boring and I just kept going hotter and hotter. Now, habanero chiles don't faze me.
    6. I once was stranded and had to walk approximately 25 miles in pitch darkness to town. I could barely move afterwards I was so achy.
    7. Despite having a rough time growing up I still try to remain positive and upbeat. I pass this energy onto others because I know life could be hard and you never know what they are going through.
    8. I like to make things. I've made/make my own toothpaste, detergent, cleaners, and deodorant.
    9. I like a lot of ethnic foods. My favorites are Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Asian.
    10. I'm a big sissy when it comes to cold weather. I think 50F is cold. However, I can tolerate high temps like 90s and 100F no problem.

    I admire you for sharing that.

    The only way to get over your fear is to face it! Sharing your story would have a huge impact on school-age children. Think of all the lives you could potentially save from HIV/AIDS!

    I've also heard picturing everyone in the audience in their underwear helps too :p

    1. I'm working on my PhD
    2. I'm from a small town - only 2000 people. I love the excitement of a big city too, but I will always hold on to those small town values
    3. Now I live in a beach town. It's the kind of town I always dreamed I'd move to. I love the outdoors, and I feel so fortunate to live in such a beautiful location
    5. I was raised by just my dad, so I'm a total tomboy. I also have really tough skin because of that.
    6. It was really hard to be a female and grow up without my mom. I've always been so jealous of close mother/daughter relationships. My dad isn't very affectionate, so I really lacked that.
    6. I love to golf (even though I'm really bad at it)
    7. I love watching sports, especially going to games
    8. I will have fun in any situation. Even by myself, even in the worst conditions, I'll find a way to have a blast.
    9. I grew up very working-class and am doing well working myself up the ladder at a pretty young age. I'm really proud of that.
    10. I love nerdy TV and pop culture in general. It balances me.
  • I'm a retired teacher.
    I'm in the process of adopting a 12 year old blind cat with a heart murmur a thyroid problem and high blood pressure!
    I like to watch period dramas - Pride and Prejudice, Downton Abbey etc.
    I love to read but watch too much television!
    Africa is my favourite continent.
    I love elephants.
    I hate zoos.
    I'm claustrophobic and afraid of heights but I can happily fly in a plane. (Phobias don't make sense!)
    I enjoy gardening and love flowers.
    I have visited 22 countries.

    I graduated with a BA of English with a concentration in Creative Writing and surprise, surprise, couldn't find a job in my field.

    I'm currently a teacher and while I love my job, I know that it's not my true calling in life.

    I'm hoping to get my Masters of Social Work in the near future.

    There will always be a small part of me that wants to ditch traditional education, go to cosmetology school and work at a kick *kitten* salon.

    I have been engaged twice. Neither were good ideas.

    I'm obsessed with my dog and my-dog related things!

    I have one sister who I adore but cannot stand, all at the same time.

    I love to cook and have had a pretty hard time cutting back on my butter usage.

    Pearls are my favorite jewelry and I think every woman should have at least one pearl necklace to wear with a LBD.

    I love the Canadian show "Degrassi," which is centered around a group of high school students. I started watching the show when I was very young and feel an allegiance to it...so when I watch it now, I try my best to stay interested in the teen-friendly script (which is a lot harder the older I get).
