How I'd Give Away $1 Million
It depends on how I have to give it away. I’d love to give some to my parents and of course I’d want to set up a trust for my daughter so she would be financially secure when she gets older. But I’d also want to donate to several charities. Since I was a preemie myself, I’m fond of the March of Dimes. I also would want to help end childhood hunger.
My daughter recently started reading and it has opened my eyes to how much of our daily lives requires knowing how to read and we do it without even beIng aware of it. I can’t imagine what she goes through not being able to read. So I think I would want to help the literacy campaign.

Diversity at school
Because our local public school system is sub-par, many parents send their child to private school. Private school is the norm here now. But something I’ve noticed here that I don’t remember seeing in school when I was a child is the racial split. Most of the schools are very much dominant of one race. There isn’t much diversity. But we took a tour of the academic magnet school (our daughter will be starting kindergarten in August), which is part of the public school system and seeing the kids in the hallways and peeking in classrooms, I was amazed and very pleased at how diverse it is. That is one of the things I like most about the magnet school. Not just that it won’t cost us a fortune in tuition, being a public school, but the diversity that I saw just doesn’t exist in the regular public schools. And I’m sure it probably doesn’t exist in the private school either. I grew up in a school that was very much ethnically diverse and I pray my daughter gets accepted to this magnet program so she can experience that same diversity.

If I Made a Living from Art…
I would be a fiber artist. I would spin and knit/crochet for a living.
My January 2012
My January was awesome! I had two weeks away from work to start off the new year. I spent one whole week at a pre-1840s encampment with family and friends. Such a relaxing week! Then the following week, I was at training instead of the office. Class only had one other student besides myself, so it was a relaxed week as well.
