There are just so many!

most embarrassing moment: Well on Valentine’s Day in gr.10 I had an indoor baseball practice and was going to catch a grounder when it bounced up and hit me in the mouth. The tip of my nose bruised, my lip swelled up to 5 times the size, had a huge blood blister underneath, my 2 front teeth were loose so I had to eat egg salad sandwiches for a whole month so that I didn’t bite down on something and lose a tooth. Needless to say, I didn’t go to the Valentine’s Day dance and I looked ridiculous… if only I had a picture!
Weirdest thing about you: I find enjoyment in getting needles, giving blood and watching others have these things done to them. My favorite part about dental assisting was holding peoples faces/heads when they get their teeth pulled
Idiosyncrasies: I have an addiction to clicky juice lids and can’t stop playing with them
Favorite Tegler/KIA/Brightwood moment: Devin trying to teach Jamie and I how to skate board, Istill don’t know how.
Pet peeves: When people chew food with their mouth open, tone deaf people that sing too loud, and rush hour traffic
