Hmmnnnn... shall we take a trip?
Some (maybe not so) random facts about yours truly:
- When I was in elementary school in Hawaii, I was part of the LEAP (Language Enrichment Arts Program) during grades 1-5. Similar to the GATE (Gifted and Talented Program) you might be familiar with.
- During those years, I participated in annual Speech Festivals and Writing Festivals.
- And brought home the highest award (4 stars) almost every year. Almost.
- I was invited to speak at different schools and clubs (though I can't remember those darned speeches).
- And received letters from all sorts of VIP's (leaving me wondering who these "famous" people were).
- In that particular class, I had the same teacher throughout all those years, who encouraged me to run for student body Vice President, even if I was a year too young (position held for 6th graders). We were moving after 5th grade, and they made an exception to allow me to run as a 4th grader.
- During the campaign, some boy would constantly aggravate me during recess. I finally dropped my sign and pulled that boy across the yard. By his hair.
- No one else messed with me after that.
- And I won. By a landslide.
- That teacher? Who coached me all those years? She still lives in Hawaii and I even had a chance to visit her some years ago, shortly after Hubz and I got married. To this day, we still keep in touch. I'm just not sure if she saw my little playground stunt.
