I have once, but I try not to do such things.

Why? You look good!

Why? You look good!

I picked the BEST pic I could possibly find. Trust me....I don't look good.

Lemme think..................

Okay, 14 years old. Hmmm.............

The year of Mrs. Laws. Mrs. Laws was a teacher in my high school/jr. high combo..........small town you know.

Mrs. Laws taught Spanish and English.

I was good at English. Very good. So, we were doing grammar, as we had done since 2nd grade. Same stuff, diagramming sentences, parts of speech, which form is correct, blah, blah, blah.

Mrs. Laws, however, pulled me aside one day and said, "You know this stuff backwards and forwards don't you?" I nodded yes (I was EXTREMELY shy). She then took me to the library, showed me the reference books and asked me to choose something to write a report on. I chose dormice.

The next day, she told me I was a gifted writer. She pulled me from grammar completely. She would give me new assignments each week and I would work in the library. I did comparative analyses of stories, research papers, characterizations, new endings...........anything you can think of.

She told my father I would BE somebody...........

She made me want to be a teacher, and she's the one I credit with giving me the ability to read what EACH child in my class needs and build their program for them.

That's my 1983 story..............

That's a GREAT story! Thanks for sharing!

Here's me..........and I just picked the first one I found.............

Hope I don't disappoint...........I hate it when my mental image and the real image don't gel..............

I don't know how to post a pic. I just cleared my memory card (one more thing I did to get ready for our trip!!!), and I only have one pic of me stored on my computer. Someone post a pic!!

C'mon guys! The only pic I have of me was taken while I was on a windy ferris wheel 9,000 feet in the air! My hair is blowing everywhere and is a mess. I'd post it if I knew how!

Make sure it's a jpeg format... if not you can do a "save as" and change it. Then go to this link

Click browse and find the pic, then click "host it"

Then just copy & paste it into your post...


Good luck!

 

[Bbgrizzle]
