Google Famous

Have you ever tried Googling yourself just to see if and what comes up? Well I decided to do that because a radio station was having a competition that if you knew someone famous and called in you could get a gift cards some place. Well their definition of someone famous was that when their name was Googled something about them came up on the first page. So I Googled myself, and guess what the first article is ME!!!

I am a mentor for a middle school competition called Future City. Here in Michigan it is sponsored by the Engineering Society of Detroit and the National Competition is held in Washington DC during Engineer's Week in February. Well last year my team (then Helen Keller Middle School in Royal Oak) won the Michigan Competition so we got to go to Washington DC for the National competition. Our team ended up in 3rd place our of 38 teams that competed nationally. During the competition our team was interviewed and apparently I had a lot of cool things to say becasue they wrote an article with quotes from me.

I am continuing my mentoring duties at what is now Royal Oak Middle School (they combined the two middle schools this year). We have a good group of kids this year and it would be nice to bring home more medals and trophies.

So now when you're asked if you know a celebrity you can say Yes I know a Google Celebrity. :)
