The Berenstain Bears Series was one of my siblings and I's favorite. Each Berenstain Bears book we read, told a life lesson.]]> 2016-09-05 00:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121514386 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121515008 I remember in elementary school I loved the Dr. Seuss books. They were fun for me to read and to take home and read to my family. I loved how they rhymed. ]]> 2016-09-05 00:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121515008 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121515426 I finally retired the Dr. Seuss books at this age  and began reading the Laura Ingall's Wilder books. I was so intrigued by them. I even had a Laura outfit. After I read several of Laura's books, my parents took me to visit her home in Mansfield, Missouri.]]> 2016-09-05 00:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121515426 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121515963 In high school, my love for reading started to fade. Probably because I was always having to read the assigned chapter books for classes and I didn't care for many of them. However, there was one book we read that I absolutely loved; The Help. In fact, I read the book multiple times and even went to see the movie as soon as it hit theaters. Recently, I even baked the famous Chocolate Pie from the book (without the special ingredient). It was amazing.]]> 2016-09-05 01:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121515963 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121516515 I am ashamed to say it, but I rarely read outside of assigned readings and other random articles. I haven't picked up a book and read it for the fun of it since my teenage years. However, this class has already inspired me to change that. I have always loved the Harry Potter movies and felt like I was missing out for not reading the books. My plan is to start the first book the second I have the free time!]]> 2016-09-05 01:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121516515 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121518384 Growing up I was very involved in extracurricular activities. I went to dance class from the time I could walk until I was about twelve. I also got very involved in piano as well as voice lessons.]]> 2016-09-05 01:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121518384 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121519030 As I got older I no longer did much with fine arts. I found my love for horseback riding as well as sports. I showed my horse almost every Saturday in local shows and then I would spend my weeknights playing on my high school's volleyball team and running track. I really had a passion for horses and for sports and they are both things that I still care for today. ]]> 2016-09-05 01:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121519030 ammpkb https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121520136 Crazily enough, I am also a licensed Cosmetologist. I took a year off from college and pursued my dream. I have always had a love for hair. I love to do wedding hair on the weekends and lots of cuts and colors on week nights when I have the time. I will probably never be a full time stylist but I love that I have this trait.]]> 2016-09-05 01:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ammpkb/wbmuuo815m6e/wish/121520136
