*Schuyler Gibbons-
I was a nanny in Norway for 3 months when I was 19. I had my own room on the 4th floor of the house, it was summer and the weather was in the 60s and 70s, and I helped watch 6 kids under 5 years old. I really want to go back sometime. It was amazing.
The second one is that I was in marching band in college and in 2006 I marched in London in their New Year's Day parade. I played the flute. We were all freezing but it was one of the best experiences of my life
*Michelle Hamala
I was in Habitat for Humanity during collage and went to a trip to help the Habitat for Humanity in Florida. I was able to help with multiple houses at various stages of completion. In Seguin we only worked on one house at a time, so I was able to gain experience working with a larger Habitat for Humanity for one week.
I played soccer for 12 years .SAYSA...select for two years...Middle school and high school teams
*Lorin Mullins
When I was two I attended Learning Tree Day Care until I was 5 and went to kindergarten. When I was 18 I went to work there while I went to college. I returned when I was 24 and worked there while Zachary was in the toddler class. Now I get to teach Berkman kids who attend Learning Tree and the two van drivers, Ms. Lolly and Ms. Becky were there when I was working! They still remember me.
That was long, but I think it's a cool piece of my Round Rock history!
