One myth that is important to me is the myth that we replay 7 minutes of our significant life events when we approach death. I ponder as to if the process can truly be comforting and if so, what exactly would the significant life events be for us?

Describe on thing in your life that you would define as classical or classic and why you would describe it that way.

One thing in my life that I would define as classical is my family's travel to the Dominican Republic every summer. It has become a tradition for us to go every year to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. I would say it is classical because my grandmother's house is very traditional, in the way is is structured and built, there are many houses that no longer give off a traditional Dominican house. It helps remind me of where I am from and the ancestors I represent.

Describe what are some pet peeves of yours (especially in classroom settings, but you can mention others!)

Some of my pet peeves consist of loud chewing, people who talk loudly while lecture is happening, people who take my unassigned, assigned seat in class, people who click a little too loud on keyboards when typing (I don't know why this makes my eye twitch but it does) that's about it.

Describe/State anything you'd like to share about yourself (from facts about you to dreams, hopes, habits, vacation or summer plans, etc.)

I like making typography art, so much that I teach an elementary class the fundamentals of typography :).

One myth I find funny is that "mice love cheese" when in actuality they aren't as much of a fan of cheese as cats are!

Describe one thing in your life that you would define as classical or classic and why you would describe it that way.

The most classical influence in my life would be the cello. Growing up and playing literally classical music impacted my developmental years and ultimately shaped me to the woman I am today. I learned discipline, diligence, and patience which have benefitted me as a student and, of course, as an adult in life.

Describe what are some pet peeves of yours (especially in classroom settings, but you can mention others!)

A big pet peeve of mine is when someone constantly clicks their pen or talks excessively. Both are distracting from the lecture and learning process.

I'm a musician--I play in a cello group and an african brazilian drumming group. I'm also a rock climber and love traveling to climb outdoors, camp, and hike!

One myth I’ve known about since I was young is El Cucuy, essentially the boogeyman who kidnaps children and devours them. My parents used to tell me this and I was so scared!

• Describe one thing in your life that you would define as classical or classic and why you would describe it that way.

The one thing in my life that I would define as classic is not eating meat one day out of the year which is good friday, this has been something I’ve been doing since I was young and I always found it interesting because my family isn’t religious at all and yet we take part in this every year. It’s not something I mind, just something I’ve noticed.

• Describe what are some pet peeves of yours (especially in classroom settings, but you can mention others!)

As I’ve gotten older, talking in class is really distracting now. When I was a kid it didn’t bother me at all but now it feels wrong and like people should know better.

I love going to concerts! I’ve traveled all the way to the UK to see my favorite artist twice and have been to nearly 40 concerts in total!
