5 Things About Me

1.                  One of the biggest enjoyments in my life was watching my children play ball.  Christopher played basketball at Huntington St. Joseph High School from 1996-1999 and I very seldom missed a practice in those four years.  I enjoyed watching him compete in a sport that he enjoyed so much and watched as he matured and developed.  Likewise, Katie played softball from 1998-2001 at St. Joe and I missed one game in four years.  I recently completed a digital stories workshop and made a video story of Katie’s softball career.  I must say it was an awesome

2.                  Although I now teach, I was a railroad engineer from 1980-1985.  My family is all railroaders and I am the “outcast”.  I was the first in my family to graduate from college.

3.                  I was the Kanawha County runner-up in one-on-one basketball tournament in the 9^th grade.  I lost in the finals to a boy from St. Albans.

4.                  I was a high school cheerleading coach in 2001.  The coach quit right before the St. Joseph High School Basketball Invitational and I had to coach the team during its only competition that season.

5.                  I was a premie and only weighed 4 lbs 4 oz.  If you know me now, you could never believe this to be true.
