Mrs.Armstrong
Welcome to Room 210!
The really important questions you were too afraid to ask me:
Who is your hero? Nelson Mandela
What really makes you angry? When people talk but don't listen
What motivates you to work hard? I find it a respectable characteristic and I want to be respected.
What is your favorite thing about your career? Meeting new and interesting people... getting to do math!
What is your proudest accomplishment? Being the first in my immediate and extended family to graduate college
What makes you laugh the most? Sharing stories with my siblings about our childhood. (Mostly making fun of my parents with people who understand)
What would you sing at Karaoke night? Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" (You should hear my rapping part!)
What two radio stations do you listen to in the car the most? No radio in the car. It is my sanctuary.
