This is a spotlight thing I filled out for my work.
Personal Information: I'm short. I've been short all my life. You know those pictures we take in elementary school with our class? Well, I was always at the very end of the very short end of the line. Hard truth to swallow, but there it is.
But let's get down to the nitty-gritty. I was born and raised in Provo, Utah, and I'm still there...*sigh*. I graduated from Provo High School where I was a cheerleader for 3 out of the 4 years there. I also participated a little in student government. I attended BYU for a couple of years, but didn't really enjoy it. After I took time off of school for my husband to graduate, I decided to go to UVU instead, and I love it! I plan to graduate by Fall '09.
E.O.W. Questions:
1. What talent would you like to develop?
Not talking so loud on the teller line. Sorry, Jan Lucas.
2. What’s your theme song?
You know the Darth Vadar song—(the Emperial March as Jen A. has informed me)? Dumdumdum dum dadum dum dadum...etc. Yeah, that one.
3. What are people surprised to learn about you?
Several things actually:
1. No, I don't speak Spanish. (Except for basic Spanish from my Spanish 1 college class.)
2. No, I'm not a Latina.
3. Yes, I'm sure.
4. I'm half-Japanese.
5. Yes, I'm sure.
6. No, my mom was Caucasian. My dad is Japanese...hence Kawasaki.
7. Yes, my last name is Kawasaki
8. Yes, my grandpa owns Kawasaki Motorcycle Company
9. Just kidding.
10. 4'10". and a smidge.
Usually in that order.
4. What’s your favorite season?
The spring because it is so full of hope for me.
5. What makes you laugh?
When Melissa does her massage move with her hands going in small circles above her head. It helps if she's wearing that dress that makes her look like a little girl. Funny stuff.
6. What are you like first thing in the morning?
Calculating: I usually have to calculate how many times I can hit the 9-minute snooze button before I have to start cutting things out of my “Getting-ready” routine--ex. Showering, fixing my hair, make-up, etc.
7. What two items do you always have with you?
Besides the necessities like chap stick and gum, I have my wallet and my phone with me always.
8. What’s a story other people like to tell about you?
When I first started, I mispronounced a member's name infront of Ben W. I thought it was a spanish person's name and said, “Bobiho?” instead of “Bobby Jo.” The tellers like that story. (In my defense, it was spelled funny, okay?)
9. What was your first car?
A '97 champagne-colored Honda Accord. (I was fortunate to have a father who was both Japanese and a car snob because he only purchased newer Japanese cars even for his kids.) I actually wrecked that car 4 times. Two of those four accidents happened on the same street. One year I hit a curb on one side of the street because I couldn't see over the dashboard very well. I got a pillow to sit on and didn't hit curbs (or anything else for that matter) for a year and half. The second, I hit a patch of ice and slid into the curb directly across from the curb I hit before. My height was not to blame in this situation. The poor car...my poor dad.
10. What are three things people remember about you?
You know those things from question #3. Well, hopefully they remember a few of those things.
