Q:  Most embarrassing moment that you can share?

A:  This answer is pretty easy....but it's actually two equally embarrassing moments so I'll share them both.  First, I was playing flag football as a kid and was running down the field in pants that were way too big.  Sure enough, one of the other team grabbed my flag and pulled my pants down to my ankles in front of the stands.   Moms shrieked...teammates laughed...and I was so glad that I decided to change out of my spider man underoos into something more suitable...

My second embarrassing moment came in middle school.  I had decided to sign up for the talent show and told the director to just put me in whatever skit they needed cast for... big mistake.  I ended up in a scene where two male ballerinas danced around in black tights.  Yep.  I have done ballet on stage...in tights.  The skit was meant as a funny gag where we danced horribly and then got the large bouquet of flowers at the end... I know somewhere there is a video tape of that experience...it would only ever surface if I ran for president or something....  good times...good times.

Q:  Tell us about your education. Where did you go to elementary, middle, high school, and college? How about a picture to represent each time.

A:   Here is a little bit about my education.  Finding photos of each of those would take a bit of time...so I've put a picture to represent my hair style during those days...

I attended Stirling Elementary for kindergarten and Sheridan Park Elementary through 5th grade.  I was in the gifted program in a class with about 8 kids from second through fifth grades.  Kinda like Head of the Class.   Teacher of note:  Mr Scozzafava - 5th grade - first teacher that I felt really cared about me and not just my brain.

Middle school was at Driftwood Middle.  Of course when I attended, the mascot was the Driftwood Red Devil (which was changed to the Driftwood Cardinals).  It was there that I met Mr. Friedman - Science - One of those cool teachers that stretched my thinking and valued my input.

High school was at Nova High.  Honestly, high school was anti-climactic.... a few friends... decent experience... graduated with a 4.7 GPA... didn't date (being in the physics club will do that to a boy)...met my wife working at Publix in my junior year...began dating when I was a senior.

College at FAU with a major in History (Liberal Arts)...  I was a commuter student and paid for most of my classes myself by bagging groceries at Publix at night.  Graduated with my degree and began my career as a teacher at a small Christian school in Miami Gardens.

Thanks for all the great questions!  Only a couple left...still time to throw a few more my way!
