True passion often causes one to miss the little things...:)
[Horrible secret time: as a lowly freshman, I became my high school spelling champ by beating 9 seniors. Needless to say, that did not endear me to any of them and I earned the nickname “Shari the dictionary”. Just what every insecure 14 year girl old needs....agonistic attention that will dictate the social course of her next 4 years.]
