Something unique that happened to me or that I do.

Unique is a word that is difficult for me.  Not sure I believe any experience is really unique or perhaps all experiences are unique.  However, there are certain experiences in my life that most people have not shared.  Some good, some bad.  

One of the fun experiences is when I had a friend working for the President and he invited me to a White House Christmas party where I was able to shake hands with the President.  That was cool.

When I was fifteen, my father went on a business trip and disappeared in a helicopter.  They never found the helicopter or my father.  As I prepare to teach high school I seem to reflect a lot on my own high school experiences and that was a big one.
