Re: What do the names you'd choose say about YOU?
in reply to a message by Billina
I guess I meant to say that you value education. I don't consider success at college a good indicator... but I would still guess that you did well in high school.
I personally value education highly, but faltered a lot in school because I felt like there were more important things to do than homework. Yet - I happne to carry a lot more factual and useful knowledge than many of my peers.
Though - i totally see how I was off on that one.
It's funny how you don't attend church, but those characters are perfectly described in you second paragrph there.
I wonder - did you ever attend? Only because I taught on Nathan last week, and I know that he often was the one telling people the way it should be or correcting their mistakes just because it had to be done. And, I always felt bad for Leah, being second best to her sister Rachel - but clearly also being responsible and forgiving.

No, I never attended church. Both of my parents were raised Catholic, but they chose not continue the tradition with their kids. I think they both struggled with their faith in a big way; it was one of the few things they had in common.
I didn't do particularly well in high school, either. I passed, but I hated it so much I did the bare minimum for graduation and left it at that. I always struggled with math, and to a lesser extent, science. I loved to read, and I became something of an autodidact, but I was never a star student.
