Tagged...five things you might not know about me...

My friend Sunny tagged me, so here goes...

5 things you might not know about me...

1. Just after 9/11, I almost joined the Peace Corps. I was in the middle of my teaching program, and was looking to do some good in the world, and didn't want to be in school anymore. I was looking at going to Honduras, teaching English and learning about local agriculture. I even filled out the application, and was going to participate in their Masters programs at the same time. I changed my mind, not long after, finished school, and started teaching.

2. When I was younger, I danced in Ballet West's Nutracker two years in Salt Lake City. I was a lady in waiting and got to wear some fantastically FANCY dresses. (yes Folkman's, fancy). I took Ballet for almost 14 years growing up, and loved it, but then quit when I reached high-school and had a busier schedule, and joined our school's dance team. Then we moved to Washington and they had no dance or music programs, so I joined the basketball team. Funny thing, my little brother also danced in the Nutracker one year, Peter. He hates to admit it now. :) His picture is hilariously cute.

3. When I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut or a beautician. Or, maybe both. That would have been an interesting combination.

I'll think of some more later... :)
