  • Happy Friday!


     


    After you read below, you will know a little more of who I am [numbers are not in order of importance].


     


    5 random things about me :


     


    1. my hair grows really fast


    2. I’m good at finding great deals


    3. I got involved in high school [in part] to show non-Christians that Christians aren’t the stereotypical odd people who don’t do anything but go to church – I did 3 years of cheer, held ASB office, sang at graduation.  Looking back, I praise God for providing those opportunities – it helped form the person I am today, along w/the guidance of my parents.


    4. I had a messed up face w/a fractured nose when a ball took a bad hop while I was playing SS – but thank goodness I didn’t have to get surgery!


    5. my alias mSPIRITe is not affiliated with the Sprite drink at all [as most people think] – it’s SPIRIT in me


     


    5 more random things :


     


    1. even though most people think rain is depressing, I find it very refreshing


    2. soon after I got my license, my dad taught me stick and I’ve driven only stick cars since

    2. I catch myself straightening up things even outside of my home sometimes


    3. I proofread almost everything that I send out


    4. I’m very particular about the style & design of things that I buy such as home décor, apparel, you name it


    5. I read essentially every email that I get word-for-word [in the past, it was an issue considering I opened and read a few virus emails too – woopsies]

  • You Are the Reformer

    1
    You’re a responsible person – with a clear sense of right and wrong. High standards are important to you, and you do everything to meet them. You are your own worst critic, feeling ashamed if you’re not perfect. You have the highest integrity, and people expect you to be fair.
