MNET - I am smarter than a 5th grader!

Belief in self is the 1st step.
Belief in miracles in the 2nd step.
Belief in the power of one's own dreams is the 3rd step.

When I first saw the promotion for entrants for the show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?", I had no idea that there was any money to be won and just thought it looked like a total blast - and who better to represent Stanfordian's than myself? I am, after all, the first woman in the world to kayak the upper 22km's of the Batoka Gorge on the Zambezi River, Zimbabwe and I have always done my Camelman brothers proud.

I don't know, but I've been told, "Hunter's girls are made of Gold". Amanzi and I, we are like sisters. Also, J&B Rare! i.e. Jy (ja, dis ek) en B (that's Bruce) Rare - what can I say?

My Southern African River Song has once verse that is applicable here:

The River ZAMBEZI is mighty and bold
alleluia
Dance with her till the morning’s gold...
alleluia

I promise to invest a minimum 10% of my winnings to officially launcing my Rainbow Kidz Project. My personal project, inspired by Oprah Winfrey's Gratitude Journal, is a combination of education, dream building, job creation, entrepreneurial empowerment and recycling with a strong emphasis on harmonious tourism and environmental awareness.

With thanks, to David Gresham for teaching me to keep my feet on the ground and reach for the stars. To Allan Clive Baker, for leaving me with the legacy that it is preferable to rather make a fool of myself than be a fool. To Douglas Bader, for teaching me that nothing is impossible if faced with true courage. To Bruce John Barrett Castle, for standing by me through thick and thin, through "sic and sin". To all the people in my life that know they matter. And those that don't, well, I don't mind.
