I don't get much free time, but when I do I enjoy playing the piano, singing, and tennis. I love watching sports! I teach many gifted students, and I am interested in learning more about how to educate them. I feel I have a handle on every other type of student, but the gifted students have always raised many interesting and puzzling questions. I look forward to getting a inside look at the gifted students's mindset and learning how to effectively educate them so that they can reach their fullest potential. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #339933; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 24px; text-align: center; vertical-align: sub;">**Top Ten Things you will hear in a rehearsal lead by Ms. Scott:** 10. Please do not ask me questions until warm-ups are over. 9. Boys where is your music? 8. Altos must sing with roundness <span style="color: #339933; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 24px; text-align: center;">7. Don't look at the clock during rehearsal, that's rude. 6.Turn on your brains please. 5. This is hard work, so stay with me. 4. Sopranos count please 3. Hello? 2. If no one else is doing it, then you probably shouln't either. 1. Sing with taller vowels! This will be on my headstone over my grave. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: center; vertical-align: sub;"><span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; text-align: left;">**Who did I relate to the most in the book //Raisin Brains//?** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: center; vertical-align: sub;"><span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; text-align: left;">Pandora would be my character. I related with her right down to favoring my middle name over my first name. I found her fascination with death interesting, as I use to share this interest as a small child. Till this day I find myself daydreaming about life without my parents or this last time I will do this or that. I like to think it helps me cherish the people close to me. She seems direct an to the point which sums my personality up in a nut shell. I saw myself in her a lot, and enjoyed reading the book. I found it insightful and inspiring. I won't look at my gifted students the same.
