Donna Marie Page met Brandi and I in the library where our interview began. She told us she comes from a small family including her younger brother, Jeff, her mom who is a teacher, and her dad who is a farmer. She went on to tell us that her parents are very nice people. Miss Page grew up here, in Strathmore and went to this very school when it used to be a high school.

Miss Page enjoys gardening, yard work, and hanging out with friends and family. She also said she enjoys ringette, baseball, and recreational hockey. We had asked Miss Page if she always wanted to be a teacher and she answered us with a “Yepp.” She has always wanted to be a teacher because she likes kids and she not only likes teaching but learning as well. Miss Page is simply herself at school, she is always a goof her students see every side of her personality, because that’s all there is to see… just the goof.

We had asked if she has ever had an embarrassing moment in the classroom and she answered us with an “Oh yeah I have lots of those.” She then began to tell us about the time she accidentally wrote a$* up on the board. Then re-thought and told us she wasn’t too sure this was appropriate for us to put in our interview. We reasoned with her and she began with her story. She was doing a quick demo on assertive behavior. She began to write the chart and last on the chart came “assertive”. She didn’t want to write it all out since she was doing this fast. So she decided to make a quick, short form without noticing that her shortened form of the word was an entirely different word! Of course students began to laugh about Miss Page’s little mistake. After hearing little giggles behind her she took a second glance at the board and realized what she had done.

Outside of school Miss Page is an adventurous kind of person; she once climbed up a natural rock waterfall in the Caribbean and slid down. It wasn’t one of those hard bumpy rock waterfalls it was a smooth rock texture. She has also got to go to a Yankee’s game with the FBI and later on she got to meet the player’s family members. We asked her if she could have a wish what would it be and why. She didn’t take long to answer but when she did she gave us a, “I would wish for animals not to be miss-treated or abandoned and stop animal torture.” She then told us that animals should be treated equally the same as human beings.

Her favorite movies are the Terminator series and her favorite actor is Arnold Schwarzenegger who plays in all 3 series. She likes country music, R&B, and pop. We were debating whether or not to ask what her favorite ice cream is but we decided to include it. When we asked she replied quickly, “Cotton Candy, I don’t even have to think about it.” She enjoys chips too, and salty snacks.

Ms. Page is one fun person to chill out with. She likes to joke a lot and make people laugh, she has a goofy personality that we definitely got to see, she shares this with everyone no matter who they are. We had a great time interviewing her and we’re glad she took the time to talk to us.
