Love to laugh, read, sing, dance, discuss politics, travel, spend time with family, teach, watch and do theater, cook, learn new things, hike, bike, indoor rock climb, volunteer, keep things interesting.

I taught high school Chemistry in Memphis, TN for the past two years and am now teaching 8th grade science here. I volunteer at a local animal shelter and love it.

6. Travel

Where I'd like to travel, trying new things, and great books I've read/conversations I've had.

Out with friends (bar, karaoke, dancing) but not too late. Teacher's schedule keeps me tired.

I majored in theatre and medical anthropology, but ended up teaching chemistry :)

you have a zest for life, but don't take yourself too seriously.
