What was your favorite subject?
My favorite was arts and history. Still is! I also liked making presentations, and was always busier helping other than doping my own work, which is why I like teaching so much. Who was your favorite teacher?
First love was my kindergarten teacher, miss Bernadette. She had very long brown hair and would tell about her horse riding adventures. She was a very calm and elegant lady. Later my history teacher inspired me for having the best balance between making fun with us, understanding where we came from but also pushed us to understand and learn. He was a happy and wise man.
In elementary school I was really into mathematics, but in high school my passion for art totally took over and I was sure I was going to become a painter, so I skipped almost all of my classes and were only to be found in the art room. I really don’t know how I managed to graduate, but it was definitely through a group effort between me and my best friends in high school, Maja and Signe. Which of your classmates do you remember most and why?
From elementary school, I would say Jette who was my best friend, she was into AC/DC and loved her BAAL sweatshirts. But also Anders, whom I almost feel I grew up with. We both had a big passion for music and I think we have watched every Madonna documentary together, back then - and listened to an infinite amount music.
