My first party

Although I didn't know it at the time, I found what I was supposed to do with my life when I was eight years old. That was the year I planned and coordinated my first event. I know what you are thinking, what kind of an event could an eight year old pull off? Well, it was a surprise birthday party for my teacher. Even then I knew the details made a difference, I spent countless hours after school secretly making carefully planned out decorations created from construction paper, crepe paper and glitter. In my mind nothing was more beautiful than swags of sparkling crepe paper. Top it all off with some very dry cake and lukewarm kool-aid.....et voila! A party! The minute I saw (what I am sure was an Oscar worthy performance) my teacher's excitement and surprise, I was knew. I wanted to plan lots of parties....lots and lots of parties.
