I am a news reporter. I work for a newspaper. I report on political news. I want to cover local events. I am single. I have no children. I do yoga. I like the color gray.
I am a first grade teacher. I read to my students every day.  I've only been teaching for one year. I am married. I have a 3 year old daughrer. I sing in the church choir. I enjoy reading. My dad is a preacher. My favorite color is purple.
My news column that I've been working on about the impeachment has just gotten approved by my boss! yes, congratulations!! I know how hard you worked on that piece.  Will you be reporting it on TV as well? No, but that's okay. Live reporting is too nerve-racking for me. Is being a teacher going as you expected so far? Its going really great.  I was also nervous to get in front of the class at first but it has turned out to be such a joy!  Reading to them is my favorite thing to do.  If you ever want to come in to interview any of the kids on reading, I'm sure they would get a kick out of it. I'd love to come by and do so. Reporting on major events is great and all, but I feel like focusing on what I can do for my town is more important overall. Little things like mock-interviewing first graders, for example, can leave a long-lasting positive impression.  It'd be great for the kids and I know the community would love to read about it too.  We have such a supportive town.  Did you hear about the new yoga studio opening up? Have you been yet? I have been there, actually! It's a wonderful facility. Top-rate, first-class environment. The best. The instructor is brilliant. I totally recommend it if you're interested in yoga.  I love yoga.  Let me know which class you are taking next and I will try to meet you there. I'm always looking for a new class.  Not to mention a little time to myself away from my daughter.  I love her so much but sometimes you need to take time for yourself. I'm usually there two evenings during the week and Saturday afternoon on weekends. It varies during the week - let me check my work schedule and I'll get back to you. People with children seem happy but what you've said is basically why I don't have any of my own. I don't think I can ever handle that type of responsibility. Give yourself some credit!  You'd be a great parent!  It truly is a great blessing of life but yes, there are challenges! They are worth it, I promise. Let me know whatever time works for you once you figure it out and I will be there :) Maybe - I guess it's too soon to completely rule out yet. And for sure - probably later on this evening I'll have a better idea. How's church these days, by the way? I haven't been going lately.  The doors are always open.  Now that the weather is getting nicer it seems like more people have been coming in.  Which I love because it just means more people to sing for.  I know you've been so busy lately but please know you're always welcome back.  I'll save you a seat next Sunday!
