    Wow! Sounds very interesting! Your book makes me think about my freshman year in my dormitory, Morrison Hall.. My roomate and I used to joke about ” What happens in Room 101 stays in Room 101!” Great choice! I would definately market this book in a college book store – JB

    After reading this V, I feel like softball is one of your passions! You just had an experience with someone that dampened your spirit a little. Don’t let them take that from you. Just wait, one day when you’re a Coach, one of your players will think you rock! I bet that you’ll see the […]

    I think you were lucky to be able to explore all of the FACS classes that your school offered in high school. I think that sealed the deal for you as far as what kind of teacher you wanted to be. I didnt know that you did an independent study in gourmet foods. Very cool!
