I’ve been tagged by Jenny Luca to contribute to this meme. The idea is that you share 7 things about yourself that would be unknown to your readers.
1. Before I attended college at age 26, I managed health spas.
2. I first became interested in education when I was homeschooling my four children. Soon I was homeschooling my friend's children, which then turned into a small private school which then grew into a charter school, all while I was finishing my first education degree.
3. I was the youngest manager ever hired of all Long John Silver's company stores. I was 16 when I was made manager and had to get my employees to draw the beer because I was underage.
4. I left home at age 14 and never went back.
5. I am a big believer in random acts of kindness to strangers that they have no way of paying back.
6. I had my four children in birthing centers (one where the doctor didn't show and we delivered ourselves with no one in the room-he did arrive in time to cut the cord) or at home (again the midwife didn't show and we did it ourselves).
7. I was a vegetarian for ten years and previously lived on the US's largest successful commune (The FARM).
Now I am suppose to tag 7 people who will do the same thing I just did.
I tag:

Thanks for doing this Sheryl. I like learning more about the people I interact with in this online world. It helps make the connections we need. You can see your determined nature shine through in the things you have revealed in this post. More power to you I say!

Very interesting, Sheryl. You're a born leader and innovator. People are so interesting, aren't they?

As I read your post, it made me realize how often what we "know" about one another online really only scratches the surface of what makes us who we are.
In fact, I found with surprise that you and I shared a similar fact about ourselves in our 7 things that neither of us would have known had we met in a strictly professional venue.
Thanks for sharing, Sheryl.

The more I know about you the more you inspire me. I haven't been in touch for a while but I wanted you to know that. One semester to my own classroom...can't wait to use all the things I have learned from you!

I'd like to hear more about The Farm! Is this the same one talked about in Walk Across America?
