The book I remember reading over and over was Black Beauty. I've always been a reader. My mom has a picture of me with a huge stack of Little Golden Books reading to my sister when she was a baby. I was only two at the time. I thought I was reading but actually I was reciting from memory. My mom says that I knew all of my books by heart by the time I was that age from her reading them to me so much.

Other favorites were The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew and Little Women off the top of my head.

Congrats of 2000 Kimba!

Been sitting here wracking my brain on the names of those books we
wore out as kids. There was a whole set of books my family had and each book had several short stories. Aesop's Fables was a favorite. I did alot of reading growing up and still do, well at times! I go through spells with it now. If I hit on something I really get in to, I won't put it down until I'm done. LOL

When I was little, I remember loving Dr. Seuss books. In high school my most beloved books were The Count of Monte Cristo, Wuthering Heights and The Outsiders.

When my sister was a toddler she loved this one book and I had read it to her over and over and over again. I still have that book memoriezed!!!!!

If you were in a speech class and had to speak to your classmates on the first day of class giving a unprepared 10 minute speech on anything, would you be able to? Are you an outgoing person? Shy..........?
And what would your speech be about?

 

[Pooh67_68]

I did the same thing with my sister. Unfortunately we can't remember the name of the book, just what it was about.
I wish I could remember the name, cause I would love to find the book (if possible) and get it for her.

When my sister was a toddler she loved this one book and I had read it to her over and over and over again. I still have that book memorized!!!!!

Speech class

I would never be in a speech class, as a matter of fact I was put into one in school and I was so petrified that the teacher moved me to a different English class.

Heck the only reason I talk with people on here is because I can hide behind my computer screen. If I ever got the chance to come face to face with anybody, I would just clam right up.

 

[Meriweather]

No speech for me either That is a major phobia of mine....standing up in front of people. I used to be "sick" on the days of school that had oral presentations.
Definitely a shy person here (hard to believe, huh?? ).
I agree with Heidi, the being behind a computer screen is a benifit. Although once I know people, I am good about seeing and talking to them.
I have meet a few DISers now

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Another shy person here. The only class I ever did bad in was Speech Class. I got so physically sick on final presentation I had to leave school and take an incomplete.
I can talk your ear off one-on-one about any subject you wish, just don't put me in front of a group.

I even know the name of the book. I believe she still has the book, but it is very worn!

 

[mickeyfan2]

I had speech class in high school and did fine. I use to do presentations to VPs. I no longer need to do that.

It's been a very long time since I've been in college, but that's when I had a speech class. I'm a teacher, so the class was worth it.

The most interesting speech in that class was an informative speech about how to change a flat tire. I've never done one, but I thought it was interesting, and something I should know, and hopefully never have to use Thank heavens for roadside service!

I could do speech class just fine. I used to be the leader of our County's homeschooling group and I had to stand up (or sit!) in front of the group to run the meeting. I was always outgoing though. I was singing at the firehouse Christmas Parties at 5 yrs old!! Plus I was in show choir in High School where we sang and danced! I could easily talk on anything I'm passionate about or really well informed about. Actually I could probably argue anything too!!

My DD9 is just like me. Not at all shy. You know how relatives try to embarrass kids by asking them to do silly things in public? Well at a family get together my aunt (who hates that I home-school) asked her to show everybody her Irish dancing routine. So DD says "Sure!! make some room!!"

I am an introvert, but don't have too many issues about speaking in front of others -- unless it is a topic I know nothing about.
AGES ago, I use to even teach needleart classes. But get me where I would have to teach something like auto repair, I would be reading aloud straight from a book.

If you were to go on an out of country trip, and you could take just one celebrity with you, who would that celebrity be, and which country would you choose?

 

[Pooh67_68]

England, not sure on the celebrity.

 

[mickeyfan2]

England, not sure on the celebrity.

Same here. Not a celebrity person, so no one comes to mind.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

England and I'd take Jackie Chan because he would be a hoot.
