There's not enough honesty these days. Let's start a revolution. I'll go first, okay?
1. I eat when I'm bored. It's not such a problem here in Nigeria, where the readily-available snacks include peanuts and mangoes, but it might be a problem when I move home.
2. Every day I become a little bit more like my mom. Happy Mother's Day, Mama! I love you!
3. I hate chalk. My students find this hilarious. I wrap my chalk in masking tape so I don't have to touch it. Interestingly enough, I can scrape my nails down a chalkboard--no problem--but chalk dust gives me the shivers.
4. My full name is Margaret Emma, but I never met either great-grandmother whose name I bear. I wish I knew more about them.
5. The astronomical maternal mortality rates in Nigeria really bother me. I wish I had a background in medicine or nursing so I could make a difference in that area.
6. I always cry in the first 2 minutes of Love Actually. The Heathrow Airport arrivals gate scene gets me every time.
7. Given the opportunity, I would share just one message with every teenage girl: You are beautiful. I feel like this world would be a different place if every girl believed that about themselves.
8. I am judgmental. I think it is my ugliest flaw, and the most stubborn one to ditch.
9. I'm very aware of how other people see me and I worry what others think of me. It is grossly unhealthy and quite hypocritical. See #7.
10. Someday I'm going to own a yellow Labrador. I hope this is sooner rather than later.
Okay, your turn. Leave a comment and tell me something true about you.
