7 Things About Me That You Didn’t Know Before:
- I have gone by three different names in my life. I was called MONA when I was a child, RAMIE in my teens and 20s, and RAMONA during the next 3 decades.
- I am older than most of my students’ grandparents (61) but, because of the accident of genetics, I look 10 or more years younger — at least from a distance. (This isn’t bragging; it’s purely genetic.)
- My sons tell me I’m a perfectionist. I disagree, countering that if I’m a perfectionist, my condo would be clean, the papers organized, lessons planned, dog trained (you get the point).
- I am a horrible procrastinator. “Experts” say this is related to being a perfectionist.
- I start jobs and projects and don’t finish because they aren’t turning out the way I think they should. This isn’t possibly related to being a perfectionist.
- I have a horrible time saying NO. It’s so bad that I even jump in and volunteer before I’m asked.
- I taught writing strategies to teachers in China last summer and will do the same this summer.
Now I have the pleasure of sharing these versatile bloggers with you.

funny how perfectionism and procrastination go together, hand-in-hand.
I’m probably supposed to do something, aren’t I? lol
That is why it took me a few weeks to get to these and why I did four at one time. They didn’t come in all at once.
Congratulations and yea Thank you!:) I will work on it soon!
