Q&A With Kristi Helbig

Q:  If you were not working in a school, where would you work?

A: “Always wanted to be a teacher. But I did go through a period, probably in high school, where I considered nursing. So i think about my dream Job, if I could do absolutely anything in the world, I’d be a singer.

Q: If you could eat dinner with anyone in the world, who would it be?

A – “Pope John Paul II or Princess Diana, cause I just admired those two, like crazy. To have someone to make that much of an impact on my life. I think that says a lot because I was still pretty young when both of them passed away.

Q: What is your last meal on death row?

A: ” In-N-Out, hamburger and fries, and a Diet Coke. Or some sort of pasta. I love pasta, it’s my favorite.”

Q: Where is your dream vacation and why?

A: “I have been to Mexico numerous times, but it’s still probably my favorite place to go. I am going to St. Martin this spring break, and I’ve heard that it might surprise Mexico. I think anything warm and sunny, and I can sit by the beach or by the pool and not have any stress, is my dream.”

Q: What is your craziest story as a teacher or as a dean?

A – “Probably the craziest was when I was teaching 5th grade, and I was just working with a kid who just had some serious anger issues, and another child upset him, so he picked up his desk and just threw it across the room.”
