Tagged by Caroline to do 7 things that you may not know about me!
1. I have to check all sides of a condiments packet, or really any packet to make sure it doesn't have an easy to open nick in it. I developed this habit a few years back and can't seem to shake it
2. I went to speech therapy when I was 4 years old (I think!) and continued up until around grade 4. When I was little many people couldn't understand me and my big brother Andrew use to have to translate a lot when we would stay at my Grandparents house. I still pronounce words wrong and people all the time ask me where my accent is from.!
My big bro Andrew, My Grandma and me!
3. The best award I ever won, (besides the art award in year 12) was the "English teacher who dances most to the beat of their own drum" award, I won in Japan
4. I'm a really bad loser, really competitive and several times in my life people have refused to play board games with me!
5. I collect feathers
6. When I was little I was a really fussy eater especially when it came to meat. One day we had lamb chops and I was convinced I couldn't swallow the meat. I think I chewed one piece of meat for at least an hour or more. I even chewed it on our daily after dinner, family walk. This probably ties into my stubborn-ness. Mum finally relented on her stance and I spat the piece of meat out...victory to fee!
7. I read motivational and life-related books all the time and I don't think it's daggy. I like people's different perspective on the World. I like being Happy which is something that doesn't always come naturally to me!
