Music
too much to put here--I am a musician and singer and so i tend to have a soundtrack to my life.....
I like all types except gangsta rap--
especially like Loreena Mckinnet,Diana Krall, Enya, LIBERA the boys choir from South London is in my top 5 best music EVER! and a balance of other genres. I really dig Bluegrass and oldies too....music that is honest, innocent and fun.
Movies
Action, drama and comedy--basically all kinds--NO HORROR ( don't tell anyone but I have never seen a Friday the 13th movie)--but I do like the suspense thrillers! I LOVE movies that still have me thinking about them days, weeks later....ones that havve an impact.

One kid at a time!!!!!!
Heroes

people who can forgive, love deeply and truly, who can be compassionate and who honestly believe that there is good in everyone.
Hey Miss. Baker I just wanted to pop in and see how you are doing and to see when would be a good time I could maybe pop in in the middle of a class and make you mad...... Just kidding, But all kiding aside, when can I stop in and "try" to tell your newbies what there in for? Well, bye Miss. Baker and I of all people miss you. Later.
Ms.Baker How's life? Hopefully good,as for me it's greattt. Just been busy with semester exams and finishing up my sophmore year. The other day I passed by A.C.New and I was wondering why there was hay behind the portables?? But the other day you answered my question with the video of you and your students reanactment of the Civil War. That's pretty cool. You seem very proud of your kids as you should be. I have had ALOT of teachers and you are definately one of my favorites. I appreciate everything you taught me not only to further my education but as well as how to deal with obstacles that may come in my life. You are GREATLY appreciated Thanks again!!!!!!!.
That is so cool about the civil war thing. My grandmother sent me the article out of the newspaper and asked "Wasn't this one of your teachers back in middle school?" What a small world. You are such an awesome teacher!! Hope things are still going well for you! ♥ Kristen Calhoun
