Please post your visual story here. Tell me about your: goals, obstacles, and your hobbies. Use a metaphor or a simile to describe your goals, obstacles, and hobbies.
My goals are clouds; they are having children with my husband, having my third book published, and getting tenure.
My obstacles are mountains, and they have been: working two jobs while finishing my Ph.D., having custody of my niece and nephew, and losing my parents as an undergraduate student.
My hobbies are a stream next to the mountains. They are: reading, writing, watching movies, playing with my 100 pound Lab named Missy, volunteering and doing service, participating in a weekly Bible study, sending cards to my friends who need encouragement, and growing plants.
Now, tell me about yourself!
