1) I had a Coarctation of the Aorta at the age of 4.
2) I have always loved children! When I was in 4th grade I told my mom I was going to have 12 kids. I even had all their names picked out!
3) I saved a 10 month old baby by doing CPR at a Kohl’s department store. I suppose all those lifeguarding classes paid off.
4) I began college as a pre-med major…wanting to be a pediatric cardiologist…I ended college with a criminology/psychology major…wanting to become a lawyer. I was accepted to UT Law School and declined because I wanted to work with children on a daily basis.
5) I attended the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and did a presentation for my 4th grade class when I returned. I watched Michael Johnson toss his gold shoes in the TRASH CAN while somebody dove in after them!
6) I bought my first house at the ripe old age of 22.
7) I graduated college with my Bachelor’s degree in 3 years and I have yet to regret it…although everyone said I would.
8) I will not go to bed without brushing my teeth and washing my face…in that order. I won’t let my husband get into bed without brushing his teeth either! It drives him crazy.
9) I lived in a 12 X 12 dorm room (or box) with Alison Winter for an entire year and we NEVER had one argument!
10) I bite my fingernails all the time. I have tried to stop many times, but have never succeeded. I will accept any suggestions.
