ReplyDeleteI enjoy collecting sports cards and memorabilia. I go to card shows at least once a month and travel quite a bit for shows. I have a store on ebay in which I buy and sell cards as a sort of business.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your most valuable card?
DeleteProbably right now my 2007 Exquisite Adrian Peterson auto patch rookie /99
DeleteI'm a very outgoing person but I'm shy at first. I easily break out of my shell but I just need to be around the right people. I love to meet new people and find a lot of interest in hearing about everyone's stories of where they came from and what makes them who they are. I'm a great listener and I'm always up for giving advice.
ReplyDeleteDo you find it easier to be outgoing when you are around outgoing people, or when you are around shy people?
DeleteI have been in dance all my life and was on the dance team in high school. I decided that this year I would change it up a bit and try cheerleading at Concordia.
ReplyDeleteDo you do ballet? Is cheerleading a natural transition from dance?
DeleteI have been very involved in bowling for a few years, both for my high school team and during leagues. I have a great passion for it and i call my bowling coach my second mom.
ReplyDeleteI love bowling, but I don't get to do it much. My best score is a 219. How about you?
DeleteMy high game is a 224, and my average is a 162. I haven't bowled in a while and i didn't bring my bowling balls to school because i had no where to put them but i am going to find a place for them and hope i can go soon!
DeleteI enjoying spending my free time with my fiance we have been together for 7 years now, he is currently teaching me how to bow hunt. - Amy
ReplyDeleteIs he a bow hunter, or with a gun? Do you like it?
DeleteWow, looks like I didn't read close enough. I see now that he is indeed a bow hunter. Where do you go to hunt? Have you succeeded in shooting anything yet?
DeleteTwo years ago when my family and I went to Hawaii for my parents 25th wedding anniversary. My favorite part was when I was able to swim with the Dolphins. I have been wanting to do that for a long time and finally got the change to swim with the Dolphins. Taylor
ReplyDeleteYour parents have been married for the exact same time as me. We went to the Bahamas once and had the chance to swim with dolphins, but we didn't end up doing it. I'm not such a great swimmer.
DeleteI grew up in Milwaukee until my family moved to Mequon when I was 9. Since then I have learned to love reading and meeting new people.
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't realize you used to live in Milwaukee. Where was your house, do you remember?
DeleteI'm very good at understanding technology and have great technological skills. Whenever my family has computer problems, I jump right in to help them diagnose and fix the problem. I also have writing skills that almost rival my technical skills and I've dreamed of becoming a science-fiction author. I've also thought about combining my two skill sets to become a Technical Writer. Whatever career path I choose, I'd have a promising future but I'm often conflicted about which path I want to take. -Eric
ReplyDeleteIts always hard to decide which of our passions we should follow when it comes to a career. For a long time I thought about a career in medicine. In enjoyed science and would have found great joy in helping people with health issues. But I also enjoy the challenge of helping people with spiritual issues and have never regretted my decision to be a pastor.
DeleteI am from Minnesota and went to Mayer Lutheran High School. I love playing trumpet, being in theatre, sports, reading, making and restoring furniture, and philosophy.
ReplyDeleteThose are some interesting and diverse hobbies. Making and restoring furniture are two very different, but related, skills. What furniture have you made?
DeleteI have made a few tables, and a coffee table base, and a few chairs. I recently restored an old coffee table and a few chairs. Most of these have been 4-H fair projects.
DeleteI'm from Janesville, WI, and I enjoy playing tennis and hanging out with friends. In my free time I enjoy learning about business and philosophy as well as play video games. I also play piano and percussion.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever played in a band, or do you just play for fun?
DeleteI played in a small 3 piece, but it was just for fun. :)
DeleteI'm from Cedarburg, WI, I went to a public school and have had little experience with religion throughout my life. I'm so happy to be at Concordia to further my knowledge!
ReplyDeleteMy kids went to school at First Immanuel Lutheran in Cedarburg. I'm glad you're looking forward to learning more in your classes. What is your favorite place to eat in Cedarburg?
DeleteMy favorite restaurant is The Farmstead...not cheap but they have the best steak in the world!
DeleteI am a father of two awesome boys. My oldest will be 8 in Oct and my youngest turned 2 this past Jul. I enjoy being a father with all my heart. When my oldest was younger he couldn't pronounce "Papi", which is what I call my dad. To instead of grandpa, my son called him "Happy". I also let my oldest pick the name of his grandmother (my mom) and he chose "Buster". So Happy and Buster are what my sons call my parents.
ReplyDeleteOne of my nephews had trouble saying "grandma" and ended up saying "Jim" instead. He's 20 now and still calls his grandmother, "Grandma Jim."
DeleteKids are such a blessing. I have three and they are all so different from each other.
I am from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I came to Concordia because I was awarded an art scholarship but am interested in the business program. Since high school I have had severe back problems and college has been extremely difficult for me physically. I feel behind in school because I missed my first semester of college right from the start and have been struggling this past year as well. I had one surgery in Nov. 2011 and may need another soon to come. However, I have been trying everything to prevent surgery but am on the last option. I wish to become physically well enough to get some sort of a normal life back where I would enjoy exercising, work, excelling in school, art, music, and many other activities.
ReplyDeleteBack problems are soooo painful and hard to endure. My prayers are with you as you push forward. Know that your Concordia professors are all anxious for you to succeed and will do whatever we can to help you. What type of regimen will it take to avoid another surgery?
DeleteOut of all the things I like to do, I am a fan of reading manga. It may sound like a geeky and dorky thing but I love reading them. For some strange reason I always find room to squeeze in time for them.
ReplyDeleteI'm from a small town in Upper Michigan. I was home schooled till 7th grade and have 6 siblings. I spend my free time being artsy and making things or hanging out with my roommates.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Sussex, Wisconsin and I went to Hamilton High school. Last year I went to UW-Green Bay undecided about what I was going to go into. Decided I want to do Occupational Therapy so I came to Concordia for the program. I love trying new things and taking on challenges. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing softball, swimming, reading, shopping and listening to a variety of music. Most of all, I love Wisconsin sports! Love the Packers and the Brewers!
ReplyDeleteI am from Marshfield Wisconsin. For the longest time I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. I sing and play guitar. I have one older brother who is one of my best friends, and I am always finding new ways to help others and strengthen my faith.
ReplyDeleteI am from Chicago, IL. My major at Concordia is Pre-Pharmacy focusing on chemistry. This is not my first year in college, I went to Malcolm X College in Chicago. I went to a city college because it was cheaper. I am a big fan of the bears, blackhawks, and Bulls. While I am in Wisconsin, I am going to have to stay low because Packer fans are deep. -Jessica Johnson
ReplyDeleteI am from a small town in Missouri. When I was in the 11th grade my town had a tornado which destroyed 60% of the town. As a result of this I had to finish up my 12th grade year in trailers along with the rest of the high school students. ---Bianca
