sewing

When I was a teen, the only reason I learned how to sew was due to my Home Ec teacher in Middle School. I don't remember her name, and I hated her at the time. I wanted to take wood shop, (how uncool was Home Ec in the early/mid 80's?) and my mom who couldn't sew a button on, made me take it.

The teacher must have seen something in me, becuase after that short trimester class in 7th grade, she made sure my mom signed me up for a whole year in 8th grade.
