\n<\/TABLE>Favorite thing about UNMC:<\/b> That everybody is so nice. I like working with my co-worker, Dale — he’s very nice.<\/p>\n

Three things you don’t know about me:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • My friend’s birthday was last Saturday. There was a lot of dancing and eating at the party.\n
  • I went to Denver five years ago. The mountains were beautiful, and it was fun. My family and I stayed in a hotel and visited many different places. I’d like to go back there with my family.\n
  • I love to cook. One of my favorites is salmon mashed potatoes and vegetables. I’m not much of a dessert person, but I love fruit.\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
