Q: Where is the farthest you have traveled?
A: I have been to Cape Cod and to San Francisco.
Q:Who is the person you admire most and why?
A: If I had to pick just one person it would definitely be my Mom. Her steadfast love, patience, wisdom and depth of character are irreplaceable. I miss her and her smile.
Q:What is the best advice you have received?
A: From my grandmother: (short version) ?Learn the rules. Play the game. Take the prize.?
Q:What has been or would be your dream job?

Q: Where would you go on a dream vacation?
A: I would like to spend some time in Key West, Florida.
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?
A: One of my biggest pet peeves are ?Rabbits? ? those people who ignore the merge signs on a busy highway, speed past those who do merge, and then try to nose their cars in at the last minute and end up bottle-necking traffic. (Also ? rude people.)
Q: What would you do if you won the lottery?

Q: One thing about you that would surprise people?
A: Most people here would be surprised that I used to be an English teacher and that I was very good at it. While I am certainly able to speak and write grammatically correct, standard formal English, I proudly speak Southern English in everyday conversation. I had a professor once told me, ?English is a living growing language. It changes everyday.? I have found this to be true (especially since the word ?conversate? is now in the dictionary) and do not wish the dialect and idioms of my wonderful Southern home to disappear. I am not fixin? to let that happen. That?s the right thing to do, idin?t it? J
Q: One thing you would change about yourself?
A: I am actually quite a shy person. I would like to be more social and spontaneous. I would also like my lips back.
Q: Favorite memory from childhood or school?
A: I used to love singing and making up songs and games with my brothers, spending summers on Greers Ferry Lake and at the cabin in Fox with my family and staying over at my grandparents? house. I also loved Girl Scout Kamp Kiwani!!!
