Who Are You? {Week 2: School}
1. Where did you
go to school?
I, luckily enough,
completed all of my schooling (until I graduated from high school) in the same
town, with the same friends, in the same school district.
{Pierceville Plymell
Elementary School} (K-4) A small, little school (one hallway… and a half),
literally plopped down in the middle of a bunch of cornfields. We planted gardens,
celebrated Kansas Day, learned how to brand cows…you know, all the normal
things elementary school kids do J
{Charles O Stones
Intermediate Center} (5-6) This was the first time I actually got out of my
little farm school bubble. Introduced to all sorts of kids (a couple white
kids…but not many). Mainly the awful little punks that think they are way too
cool to be in 5th grade. The kind of kids that thought is was cool
to tell you all sorts of grown up things I didn’t even understand. Pretty sure
my parents were more scared for me than I was. At the time I think I was
totally oblivious to the kind of kids I was surrounded by. I just trucked along
and tried to keep to my own business. Best part of Charles O Stones was band.
After seeing my three older siblings start instruments I was so excited to be
learning how to play the Clarinet.
{Abe Hubbert Middle
School} (7-8) Pretty much the same crowd of kids, but by then I was used to all
of them. School boundaries were a little different so I actually had a few more
normal friends at this school. These were the years I was introduced to all of
the extra curricular activities (and started choir) Volleyball, Basketball and
Track. Track was my favorite. Did a little high jump, hurdles, relays, and my
all time favorite field event, pole-vault. I of course took after my three
older siblings once again, who were all very good pole-vaulters. I was one of
the only girls at the school that pole-vaulted, and I was actually good at it,
so I loved it. Jumped 8 feet in 8th grade, as high as some of the
high school girls were jumping. After
middle school I quite pole-vaulting because I was totally creeped out by the
high school pole-vault coach…big regret. But that was indeed my love of middle
school.
{Brigham Young
University- Idaho} I always say it’s the greatest place on earth. Good school,
good town, good memories. My major was Fine Arts (with an emphasis on photography).
Clustered in Dance. And I was living in Rexburg with Shane, Brittany, and Jake.
Yep, greatest time on earth, really! I went college to dance, draw, take
pictures, play with my brothers and sister and meet my handsome husband. You
just can’t beat that.
Did you have any memorable teachers?
I took a drawing class
at BYU-I from Leon Parsons (A professional wildlife artist). You probably don’t
know his name, but I know you have seen his paintings…probably hanging in your
church building. Everyday we would vote of the best drawing. If your drawing
won he gave you a signed piece of art, usually a small 5X7. We had some
extremely talented people in that class, so needless to say, I hardly ever won.
I always joked with him if I won he had to give me his “Joseph, This Is My
Beloved Son. Hear Him!” painting, which was a 10X20 that he never gave out.
Well, one day I finally won, and sure enough he really did give me my favorite
painting! You know how some teachers you just become friends with and others
you feel like don’t even know your name. Brother Parsons was such a nice guy
and always seemed like more of a friend.
What were your favorite subjects?
What were your favorite subjects?
I can honestly say that
I really never could choose a favorite subject until I attended college. Doors
were opened and my interests came to life. Every form of art, and especially
photography quickly became my love and most favorite subjects I had ever studied.
A very close second was of course dance. I just never considered dance a "subject" until I actually took classes for a grade :)
