What is Your Claim to Fame

[MeLikey]

I was one of those featured kids in the TV show "Romper Room" (I barely even remember the activities I did) and was also asked back to be on the special Anniversary show, which I did of course.

I was an extra for the movie "Married to It" with Cybil Shepheard, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Beau Bridges. I had to pretend some guy was my dad and we had to keep walking up and down these school steps and have this fake conversation about how school went.

I did a lot of print modeling when I was younger, so I'm on the cover of a parenting book and am supposedly in numerous text books that I'll never see.

I was interviewed on the news twice... once outside of FAO Schwartz talking about all of the presents I got for Christmas, and it was New Kids on the Block this and that. The second time was when my friends and I got stopped during trick-or-treating. The reporter asked me what my favorite candy was, "My favorite candy is Reeses-Peanut Butter Cups."

But besides those, I hold 1 claim to fame very dear to my heart and I brag about this to people because I just think it's really funny. In 4th grade, I made it all the way to the state competion for the Elks Free Throw Contest, placing 1st in my school, town, and other counties in my state. I got trophies, plaques, and my picture in the newspaper twice. Nerves must have gotten the worst of me at states because I was off that day. Nonetheless, I beat all of those little girls, shooting Granny-style!

Edited to add: And how could I forget about those 2 school posters I was on? Oh yeah, I looked awful and they were plastered in every dorm and office, oh how I just *loved* it when people would come up to me and be like "Hey you're on that poster!"
