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

jenmar17

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.

I'm in the process of adopting a 12 year old blind cat with a heart murmur a thyroid problem and high blood pressure!

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.

fara180

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).
