=**The Day I Was Born**=

 * When:**

=Where:= GA Moon: || I was born in Carrollton, GA. I am the oldest on my mom's side of the family and the middle child on my dad's side. I moved a total of twelve times growing up but all were in Georgia. I have lived as far South as Valdosta and as far North as Augusta. I guess I am what you call a "Georgia Peach." I extremely close to all my family. I spent most of my time growing up on lakes. I used to be on the swim team. I went to five different high schools. I just kept getting bored from the repetition of school. I went public and private schools. Once I graduated I immediately moved out on my own. I attended West Georgia for two quarters before I decided I was not ready yet. I moved to Douglasville for about six years where I worked at Red Lobster and Gumbeauxs. I then decided to try school again in pursuit of a degree in accounting. I moved to Paulding County where I still currently reside. Two years ago I decided to change my major over to education. I just love kids and so much want to positively impact their lives. = = =Shared Birthdays:= === === =1902- Charles Lindbergh, Ist pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic==== ===1906- Clyde Tombaugh, Discovered Pluto (not that it seems to be relevant now)=== ===1913- Rosa Parks, Huge Civil Rights Leader ( famous bus boycott)=== ===1947- Dan Quayle, United States 44th Vice-President=== ===1948- Alice Cooper, Lead singer of Alice and Chains=== ===1959- Zenani Mandela, daughter=== of Nelson Mandela || =Events:= 1974- Patty Hearst, daughter of newspaper publisher Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped at the age of nineteen by three members of the Symbionese Liberartion Army.
 * === === == == =Most Interesting:= **=**Personal Statistics:**=**

=Nostalgia:= It is so crazy to think that two of my favorite songs Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees and Three Times a Lady by the Commodores came out the year I was born. I learn somethign new everyday. I also found out the hit TV show Dallas aired the year I was born.

As a child I grew up playing board games and the classic, Hungry, Hungry Hippos came out during my birth year and who could forget the awesome Speak and Spell which I played on all the time. Come to think of it I still have it put up some where.

The one thing I found ironic was that the average income was $20,091/yr which is still close to what a lot of beginning teachers start out making. Also I could not believe gas was only $0.65/gal.

=Summary:= I am really excited we got to do this project. I can honestly say I never knew half of the things I found online. I plan on seeing what else I can find from different sites. I must admit it is pretty cool to be able to look back on the day or even year you were born so easily to see what was going on. ||
