Did We Really Drink the Same Kool-Aid? January 19, 2009

Posted by Emily in : Thoughts , 7comments

Apparently, The grade school I attended was for the “gifted and talented.”  The following is a list of some of my friends who followed their dreams; who focused on developing their talents and sharing them with the world.

Natalie Hill: (you can also find her personal blog on my blogroll) Starred in Grease on Broadway

Jake Black: Professional writer.  Part of Writers Guild of America.  Writes for Smallville, Heroes, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and several others.

Heather Herrick : Writer.  Published in the book “The Mother in Me.”

Guard Young:  Olympian:  Part of the 2004 USA Gymnastic team.

Lindsay Storrs: (you can also find her personal blog on my blogroll)  Meteorologist.  You can see her on Channel 2 in Utah every weekend.

From time to time,I have wondered, did we really drink the same Kool-Aid at Cascade Elementary School?  Eat the same Butterfinger bars?  Play on the same playground and have Mr. Poui as our fourth grade teacher?

One of my resolutions this year is to be a better me.  To be better at whatever it is that I do.

Ahem.

When I figure that out, (you know, when I find my “X” factor) I’ll let you know.

Until then, back to mediocrity!
