7 things Meme

I’ve been tagged by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach of 21st Century Learning to contribute to this meme. Many thanks to fellow Twitterer @ckyle who let me know I had been tagged. The idea is that you share 7 things about yourself that would be unknown to your readers.

1. I grew up the middle child of 5 kids. I think it made me a natural calm and shrewd negotiator.
2. I attended the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, intending to become a diplomat. My parents overruled my plans and I was too immature to realize I had the power to do it anyway.
3. I finished all of my course work for a Masters in Creative Writing but had a three year bout with writer's block that torpedoed my thesis efforts.
4. I wish to return to Washington, DC to live.
   
5. I have twin girls who are now almost 18. People who say "I always wanted twins" are obviously naive.
6. I have a 15 year old son whose severe dyslexia is the reason I am passionate about highly functioning and relevant schools.
   
7. I believe the work I am doing is my calling

Now I am suppose to tag 7 people who will do the same thing I just did.

I tag:

Jürgen Fauth

Carson Baker

Tim Tyrell-Smith

Seth Godin

Dan Pink

Andrew Galasetti

Scott McLeod
