We Want to Know Wednesday: School Edition

As I recover from my day yesterday (picked up awards for Cub Scouts, made two cakes, celebrated Ryder's birthday and Lucas first pinewood derby...)  I thought it would be a good time to answer the "We Want to Know Wednesday Questions." from Kenzie and Scriptor

{no. 1} How were you as a student? 

   I was a good student, in fact I was probably even a bit of a brown noser; mostly because I was really afraid to fail or mess up.  My teacher's all liked me... well except for the couple of teachers I talked back to in high school when my fear of messing up started to diminish a bit.

{no. 2} What was your favorite subject and did you excel in it? 

    Probably English, just the reading/literature part of it definitely not the grammar sections.  Hated geometry and fractions, but the rest of math wasn't too bad.  I took Calculus my senior year and took the AP test, though I should not have bothered as I got a 1 on it.

{no. 3} What - if any - is your fondest school years memory?

  Probably the band field trips and theater camp.  I played flute all four years of school; though I was in the lower band the whole time as I liked it but I didn't love it enough to really practice and apply myself as much as everyone else.   Every fall we would compete in marching band competitions all over the state.  One year we even took 4th place in state; which was a big deal as our state took it seriously and it was hard to win.

{no. 4} Did you attend college and if so, how was that experience?

    I did- I went to BYU and loved it!  Not only did I meet my husband there but it was there that I felt like I could finally be myself.   When you grow up in the the same town your whole life it gets hard to change your image and who other's think you are even when you are changing.  My freshmen year was just so much fun and new adventures.

  Then at the beginning of my sophomore year I met Eric and we began dating and to get all cliche, the rest is history.

{no 5.} Would you go back to school- be it in person or online- if you could?
    I graduated with my bachelors in psychology from BYU and always thought someday I might get a masters.  Maybe I will someday, probably would just on-line; but honestly the desire to go back and study, write all those papers, and take all of those tests has diminished over the years.

Thanks Kenzie and Scriptor for the great questions.

Would you go back to school if you could?
