  • Super Nintendo!

    Sending my first email in college!
    I sent my first email when I was a freshman in college! I thought I was so cool. Instead of calling my parents for money, I could email them instead (less needy, or something).
  • Greatest math helper ever!

    In 1996 my first semester in college I needed a $200 calculator for math. It was so expensive, but so worth it to have the extra helper!

    I took the summer school classes and got 2 brand new iPads for my classroom. Then I wrote a grant and got 3 more--we were in heaven!
