7 Things About Me

I received an alert late Wednesday that I was tagged in a meme passed along by Amber of amber-rae.com . The task is to share seven things about myself. Easy enough. I know me pretty well. So here are seven things that made me who I am in today (in one way or another).

  1. In middle school, I learned to ride a unicycle. I rode it in local parades.
  2. I have always loved musicals. In high school I was in 7 musicals: Grease (chorus), Fame (dancer), Singin’ in the Rain (dancer), Pipin (lead dancer, and I somehow managed to ride my unicycle in the show), West Side Story (chorus), Les Miserables (Eponine understudy and lead whore, my proudest moment) and Footloose (Rusty).
  3. I was a summer camp counselor and outdoor education instructor, where I spent two summers living in the woods without a television or Internet. I became a certified archery instructor when I worked there.

  4. I cheered for Michigan State’s co-ed team for football and basketball. I competed in a national partner stunt competition in Vegas, as well as team nationals in Orlando.

  5. I gave the commencement speech when I graduated from the College of Communication Arts & Sciences from Michigan State.
  6. I was one of four U.S. students selected to attend the Roger Hatchuel Academy during the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, France in 2007. I took that opportunity to travel Europe by myself, which was incredibly scary, but also inspiring.

  7. I started dating my boyfriend after we started working on a group project together in a class called "Scripting for Web 2.0." Very geek.

Hey, in my industry, it helps to have a diverse background.

Now it’s my turn to tag some folks.

As I understand, if you choose to participate, these are the "rules."

  1. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
  2. Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
  3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
  4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.
