<p>Being a big sister.</p>
<p>1) 1-Second Minesweeper time. 
2) Taught my little sister how to read. I read her many books when she was young, so now, at the age of six, she is a very proficient reader. Sadly, her mathematics skills are beyond my reach. I can teach, but I’m not a a magician. :D</p>
<p>At age 27 quitting my job, taking a backpack, and traveling around the world by myself–I am Woman…hear me Roar!..but that trip taught me so much about myself, and about the different cultures, religions, foods, ecology…life changing experience-follow your dreams-they shape who you are.</p>

<p>Last year in gym, there was a touch-football game between my team of Scholars Program kids (the smartest kids in the school) and average students, or non-Scholars. The non-Scholars were heavily favored since many of the Scholars are considered nerdy and not athletic and a some of the non-scholars are jocks. However, we (the Scholars) broke the athletically-inept stereotype. We beat the non-Scholars pretty easily. I had 3 touchdowns of my own and an interception to help out the Scholar cause. </p>
<p>Most of what happens in games played in gym is just known to the people in a paticular gym class. However, since this games was such an upset, it was talked about for the rest of the day, even by people who weren’t in the class.</p>
<p>I played backyard football with a bunch of people and i got an interception. I’m slow as crap(running) and this kid caught up to me and grabbed my legs. As i was dragging him across the floor my pants fell down. I was thinking of grabbing my pants, but i wanted that touchdown soo bad, so i went on and ran for a touchdown pantsless! That was a proud moment in my life!</p>
