You are younger than I thought! I’m from Alpharetta (went to school in Duluth though). So, bad news. I have not mellowed - it’s gotten worse, but I think this forum adds to that. ? I’m currently in Columbus. Congrats on getting a job teaching! As for me... 34 Female Georgia 2006 - Marketing Shoutout to all the Columbus GA folks!

chimes 442 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 32 male montgomery Started at AU but finished up at AUM I always say that meeting my wife was about the most productive thing I did in my time at Auburn. First and greatest Auburn football memory I have was watching Frank Sanders go up for “The Catch” in ‘93. “Oh he caught it at the 2 and he dived in! Touchdown Auburn! Touchdown Auburn! How he caught it I don’t know...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,064 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Fascinating! Apparently I'm on the low end of the bell curve, but not necessarily surprised. 30 years young. Alabama Ole Miss, 2010 Cumberland School of Law, Samford University (expected) May, 2018. Preacher's kid. I love people, and getting to the heart of what makes them tick. Married to my best friend from high school. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't - except maybe snatching her up a little earlier and moving out west to pursue my dream of being a ski bum. I want to learn how to play the drums and speak Italian. I hope to some day be a father. I still cry every time I watch Field of Dreams. I respect humility, even though I struggle to practice it myself. Finally, I hope to one day be the kind of teacher or mentor I was lucky enough to have when I needed it the most. My high school football coach called me Barnacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
