THINGS

YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME

u Jennifer L. Fisher

1. I have a sign that says “I remember the days that I prayed for what I have now.” I wish I could have told my younger self that all the personal and professional work would pay off and my life would be fuller than I could have ever expected.

2. The greatest accomplishment in my career thus far was studying for and passing my Florida Bar real estate board certification exam while juggling a busy caseload, an active three year old, and one-year-old twins. The following year. I was invited to speak at the review course for the exam to discuss exam preparation strategy.

3. I adore kayak fishing. My life is fast paced, but on the water with only paddle power, the world slows down. There is the excitement of what may be around the next bend with the freedom to slowly make my way there while enjoying the details of the nature around me.

4. One of my favorite sayings is “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” My paralegal and I have matching elephant sculptures on our desks to remind us that although we daily face a multitude of personal and professional challenges, we will accomplish everything we need to by continuing to diligently handle one thing (or more realistically 5 things) at a time.

5. I grew up in the Rocky Mountains. My cousin ran over a rattlesnake and, being the fearless teenage boy he was, took it home fried it up and served it as an appetizer to all of us. It tasted a bit greasy and counts as the most adventurous thing I’ve ever eaten!
