7 random facts

I was tagged to post 7 random facts about myself.

1 - I was a cheerleader in school for 5 years. I look at cheerleaders now and wonder why did I do that. Frankly, I loved it. We were a competitive squad and we cheered for 10 months a year - summer competitions, football, basketball, more competition in the late Winter. I loved the performance of it and the power of the lifts, jumps, etc. Geeky, I know, but it was my thing and I was good at it. One of my biggest regrets in life was quitting the end of my Junior year in high school. But, it was a rough time in my life and to this day I think I still probably made the right decision.

2 - I had visited over half of the United States before the age of 18.

3 - My graduating class had a grand total of 35 graduates.

4 - I am an avid football fan - especially the NFL and have been playing fantasy football for 10 years.

5 - I was the non-stereotypical college student. It took me 5 years to get my Assoc. Degree and when I went back to school after a 2 year break it took me another 18 months to obtain my BS in Business Management. I always worked full time and went to school part time in the evenings.

6 - When I am outside of my comfort zone and around a bunch of people that I do not know I become very withdrawn and quiet. I know a few people will have a hard time believing this, but it is something I have struggled with my whole life. Trust me, being a sales rep, especially in the field was not even fathomable 15 years ago.

7 - I play the saxophone. I don't play regularly now, but I played for 8 years in school and won the John Phillip Sousa award my Senior year in high school.
