About Me

To start off, my name is Sigrid. Wait..would you like me to repeat it?... becuase most people look at me like I'm crazy when I introduce myself. My name is SIGRID, and no...I was not born in Norway (although I may look like I was and I sometime wish I was!) aka, the HOMELAND. Even though I wasn't born there, I know a lot about Norway from their culture to the language. I am now a Senior (holy crap!) at Luther College and love everything about it. I am majoring in Elementary Education with a focus in mathematics and middle school. It has been my dream since I was ten to become a teacher. I love children so much and want to impact their lives in a positive way. I love traveling...as Amsterdam and Norway are my two favorites right now. Belgium is up next for studying abroad in 2008 after I've graduated! I am typically known as the, "happy, smiley, funny, optimistic girl" and enjoy life as it comes to me. I love to be spontaneous, having goals in my life, love love LOVE to sing, and am quite qwirky sometime! Family is very improtant to me. I have three wonderful brothers, and they are some of my best friends. My dad is a genious. I kid you not. Ask him anything, he will know the answer. My mom is beautiful.I am a hopeless romantic with a heart that loves. I love the feeling of being so close with a person, your heart just pounds through your skin. I love the feeling of when thinking about my significant other, butterflies flutter through my stomach and a smile grows on my face. Oh, and that significant other that gives me those incredible butterflies, would be Mr. Ryan Robert Olson! :)I am happy. A smile sits upon my face everyday (usually). Life is far to short for me NOT to be happy. So, smile everyone. You never know who might be falling in love with it.

Heroes:

The heros in my life, are those that keep me livin' strong. My dad is one of those few people, as I take after him the most. He has taught me everything from learning to be my own person to unconditional love. My brothers are amazing. Not only are they protective of me, but they've taught me how to be an individual and how to just keep strong through rought times. Katie Therse Markham...is my angel sent from God. she has never left my side and I will never leave hers. And of course, God and Jesus Christ....without them in my life...I would be absolutely nowhere.
