What characteristic do you most admire in others?

While I really like honesty, I most admire positivity of spirit.  There is the saying “when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade”.  In other words, there is always a way to turn something around.  I really enjoy interacting with people who try to see life through a positive lens.  

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?

I have three options if I have 30 minutes of spare time.  I either:-

• read news or educational articles and think;
• play the piano and sing; or
• hang out with my gorgeous family, including the two poodles, Alfie and Murphy.

Tornado

If you were to tell one person "Thank You" for helping me become the person I am today, who would it be and what did they do?

I have to pick two people, because I would have to thank both of my children, Maddie and David for helping me become the person I am today.  Becoming a mum was the best thing ever for me and it was when they were little that I started studying to be a teacher.  So, I thank my children for helping me find my career and a path to Montmorency Primary School because let’s face it, it’s the best!
