Name something you did that was completely out of character. How did it feel?

    I’m typically a shy person with low self-esteem…I coached a dragon boat team with 20 women last year. I started off as a paddler, hurt my back 2 years in a row and because of my love for the sport…I said ‘yes’ to the coache’s cap. Phew…scary but amazing!

    I tried my hand at baking, a very traditional activity that I am terrible at. It was hard and I wasn’t all that successful. I usually try to focus on building my natural strengths but it was a good exercise to try to improve a skill that I have zero natural affinity for. Even though I wasn’t all that successful, I did like the challenge and may give it a try more often in 2012.

    I’m an elementary school teacher at heart. I somehow morphed into a high school teacher upon moving to Guatemala. But I always said, “I’d never want to be a middle school teacher.” And here I am, smack dab in the middle of teaching middle school! Definitely out of character for me (and I am seeking a move back to elementary next year) but in the meantime, teaching 8th grade is an interesting, enriching and challenging experience.
