The Slice of Life March Challenge is hosted by Two Writing Teachers.
Early this month and on the same day, Marcie and Michelle Haseltine both created a slice listing 10 things about them that we probably didn't know. I decided to use this idea for my slice today. Creating this list also gave me ideas for future slices. So, here are
10 things you probably don't know about me!
- I eloped almost 25 years ago. (tomorrow's slice)
- I married the brother of one my EJD's or high school friends.
- I could have been an extra in the state finals scene in the movie Hoosiers while I was a student at Butler University. One of my biggest regrets.
- I have two dimples.
- I went back to school at 40 to become a second-career teacher.
- I live 7 miles from the Blue Flash, a small homemade roller coaster, which is in the book All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. (future slice)
- I have a fear of water because I almost drowned in a lake when I was a child. (future slice)
- I am an Alpha Phi.
- My mother-in-law and I were both 4th grade teachers at the same school, but not at the same time. (future slice)
- I have eight family members who are either currently teachers or retired teachers.
This is a list of really neat things about you. Some of them are very remarkable. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a list and how you already have labeled some "future slices."
ReplyDeleteThere is so much we don't know about others. This would be a great activity for a classroom too.
What a great list! I look forward to reading the future slices based on your list!
ReplyDeleteWell, consider my a subscriber to your blog! (It's already on my Feedly!) I can't wait to learn more about you in future slices. Let's have a moment for the fact you went to Butler! My boys love this school. We have t shirts and everything!
ReplyDeleteIt's great learning about fellow slicers. Thanks for sharing your tidbits and throwing us a tease to future slices.
ReplyDeleteInteresting details into your life, we might need more information which could be revealed at All Write?
ReplyDeleteSo, I am curious...why did not you not choose to be an extra in Hoosiers! How cool that would be. I love this format and learning a little about the other slicers. Will be interested in your future slices now that you have got my curiosity up. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the conversations are like when your family of teachers gets together.
ReplyDeleteEach summer my sister and I solve the world's education problems at the "pool summit" meetings.
DeleteThis is a great idea, since I've been blogging for a long time but only joined this community in the past few months. My mother, stepmother, stepfather, sister, and several aunts and cousins are all teachers, and my sister and I currently teach at the same school!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I remembered from past posts that you had eloped, but I learned something new about you as well! My today's post was inspired by you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to generate ideas. And I am gad you decided to include some in future posts because I want to learn more.
ReplyDeleteThese lists are a neat way of sharing ourselves with others. It might even be a great ice breaker at conferences. You are right. It does generate thought for future posts.
ReplyDeleteI always thought this would be the best thing to marry a friend's brother! His family already knew (and presumably loved) you! You already knew the family and already had a confident on the inside. Since it has been 25 years I am thinking this is turning out just fine! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved learning more about you Leigh Anne! Can't wait to read all the future slices...especially tomorrow's:-)
ReplyDeleteI have never met anyone who eloped. What a genius. My wedding only cost $3000 24 years ago, but I still felt like it was a waste of money. I hope I will check in tomorrow to learn more about that one, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this list. A treat to learn more about you! So interesting!
