10 Things You Really Don't Know About Me Vlogmas Day 16 2017

[@ashleypearsall2566]

You are such a brave women for telling us about what happened to you in your life. You are showing girls that it is ok to talk about being abused. You are so amazing. One thing about me, I have a blue heeler her name is Cricket and she is my seizure alert dog.

[@autumnfieldstables3320]

Oh wow dogs are so intelligent I bet your dog is gorgeous and has an amazing personality. I have heard he admiration for people with seizure alert dogs or guide dogs and other service dogs. You are brave people and you have so much trust in your best friend as one day they can save your life. Stay strong stay safe and I hope your dog stays safe and strong tooo.

A fun fact about me. I'm legally blind! I was born with albinism which also effected my vision, but here I am today, one crafty little albino! ❤️ Over the past few years it's been so fun getting to know you through videos Jackie! And getting to know new things is always fun too!

[@graciecampany6716]

How are you typing then

[@allisonwallace4022]

Gracie Campany being legally blind doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t see, it means it’s very hard for you to see. There also a voice control thing that people can use.

[@artiemuse]

@@graciecampany6716 "talk to text" is a thing.

[@Istoleallyourcheese]

Artistic Demon that is called speech to text

[@beesworkshop6594]

Tbh tho, I'm not blind enough for speech to text, I'm legally blind yes, but legally blind is a very wide range, I happen to be on the lower range and am very grateful to have the vision I do

[@terrascotten751]

I too was forced out of my home at a young age. My step mother has always been very cruel to me and my sister. Hell she still is a very toxic person that im trying to cut out completely. She used to make up stories to get me in trouble with my dad which led to abuse, she tried o drug me by hiding pills in my food that i wasnt prescribed, she used to call me terrible names like Satans child and cow, to this day she doesnt respect my transition and tells people im a bad parent for it. at 15 years old, still in high school with a part time job. my step mother kicked me and my little sister out because we were breaking her "perfect family". my mom took my sister in but couldn't take us both because of state assistance and court order from when we were young. We were taken away from her when i was 8 because of drug abuse. I grew up in a really bad situation from the start of my life, drug abuse from parents, abandonment, abuse of all the kinds, mental, emotional, physical, and sexual #metoo. But now as a ripe young transboy of 23, i have my own house, my own car, a husband, a daughter, and the strength to over come my past and listen to other peoples stories.

[@deladrin2.0]

I’m NOT sorry for you! Why? Because you damn well persevered DESPITE all of the toxic people/places/things in your past. Being only 23, it sounds like you were forced to grow up much sooner than others (as was I) but I took those things and used them for fuel. And I’m willing to bet that you appreciate the heck out of your beautiful family. 😊

[@bobswistak1733]

I’m so sorry that awful 😔

[@graciecampany6716]

I feel so bad with a life like that. I don't have to deal with that but I have other issues at my house and family problems that can sort of relate to your issue. I am sorry and I will hope the best for you!!

[@graciecampany6716]

@@deladrin2.0 You need to be nice. Maybe you grew up differently than her so that doesn't make you ant special than her.

[@autophilic_noctiphany]

@@graciecampany6716 they were nice (I'm very late and I apologize). They mean it as a compliment, that despite everything that he has been through, he still transitioned and got a family. I'm sure they meant well

[@nicolalocke5409]

That's a mean teacher. You can not I repeat be bad at art! Every thing any one makes is beautiful in its own way. Looking at some of the most famous painting under special lights. You can find many mistakes.Teachers should only be there to encourage you and help you grow. I'm glad you ignored her. I make sandwiches in my sleep and go out side 😂

[@ashleim9369]

Fun fact about me: I live Child Free by choice. It's not a population life style but I am very very happy with it. You are such a cool person Jackie. I've been following your main channel for years now and these last 16 days I feel like I've finally gotten to know you.You continue to be you!Also I thoroughly enjoyed the new editing of your last tutorial. 👍

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

+Ashlei M I had fun recording the new style! I'll implement it more regularly in 2018 :D for the next 2 weeks, I'll just upload easygoing videos :D child free is an important choice some people don't necessarily consider bc of the pressures of society. Pat and I chose child free too :)

[@mustymoose]

When I was young I thought I would get married and have kids, just because that is what people seem to do. I really wasn't that interested in it and was trying to put it off as long as possible. As I got a little older I did realize that is not the life I wanted and I'm 57 and have never regretted it. I do get to be an aunt, and that's the best.

[@SirQuester]

Single dad of a 10 yr old boy and an 8 yr old girl. My daughter watches you all the time for ideas to craft. I recently started to dig deeper into your videos and liked your content so much and you as a person that I subscribed too. Looking forward to crafting some of your ideas with my daughter.

[@aliciamcginley8574]

I battle depression and i watch your videos and a few other youtubers to help lift my spirits when i get depressed.

[@79tealfreak]

One fact that no ones knows about me: I couldn't read until 4th grade but once I could I haven't stopped. I may or may not own over 200 books now lol!!

[@bluephoeenix]

I broke into tears when you said me too. I was kicked out of my grandmother's home on and off growing up. I used to stay at friends and she would call the police saying I ran away. What you don't know about me? I draw, paint and sculpt. Thank you for being you!

[@jules_tbc2523]

Hey Jackie, #MeToo. Nothing to be ashamed of but I understand not wanting to get into it here. I've helped many people in this situation as well as those who are managing chronic health conditions, like Hashimoto's/ hormonal disruptions. I'm not sure you'll even see this but will drop you a line hun. It is a very difficult place to be. Peace and be well, Jules

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

This actually contained hidden bonuses like I didn't know you had a tattoo or that you have ADD. I too fall under the #MeToo hashtag. Umm... Something about me is I have disabilities all over from physical, mental, psychological, developmental, neurological, etc. But that don't make me any less of a human than a person with no disabilities.

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

+MYT CR8TiV hugs. Sometimes I find that out diseases or disabilities make us creative in finding ways to cope or do things in unique ways 💙💙💙

I hear ya. I'm also disabled (severe fibro and a handful of mental stuff). Keep on truckin'.

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

NerdEJackie From my own personal experience ... Art teachers are mean ! I am pretty good at Art. In HS my art teacher failed me and she'd always point out the flaws in all my art to the whole class. She shattered any dreams of me being an illustrator, animator, or cartoonist. But here I am today with a blossoming Art Instagram, Facebook page, and many fans. Screw evil art teachers !!

[@squeakysquirrel3852]

I loved this video, thank you for being so candid. I relate to your #10, it takes courage to put that out there, I thank you for that. Love your openness, relatability, honesty & how kind you treat your YT family. You're a beautiful & talented woman with a heart of gold. Thank you for being you!💟

[@gilmorefamily3548]

I fall into the #metoo. To give you something about me...I was a huge choir girl in school. if I wasn't allowed to sing, I was truly depressed. like, diagnosed and treated for 17 years now, depressed. Thank you for being brave enough to say it, Jackie. We love you and are here for you, as you have been here for us.

[@cynthias.5156]

I'm sorry about that teacher, and I'm glad it didn't stop you from pursuing the art path! I was told I was bad at art when I was very young also and it made me not want anything to do with it out of fear until about six months ago! You're doing great and your art is amazing!

[@christinescreativitycabine280]

OMG, that 4th grade teacher was SO MEAN!! And she didn’t know art from a hole in the ground! As somebody who has a master’s degree in art therapy and a BFA in painting from a major art school, I want to officially tell you that you ARE good at art! Good for you for not letting that nutcase hold you back! Fun fact about me: I was a DJ on the radio station at my first college. Fun fact about me that reveals my age: I spun vinyl records. #metoo

[@szyszkapodcast8028]

I got on your channel by accident and oh boi, you made my life so much brighter! I have struggled with my art recently, very badly, but listening to you made me go back to creating. Now I listen how much you overcame in your life and I am humbled by your persistance, attitude and brightness of your soul. I want to kick your treacher's rear for destroying your art (been there myself, but in my case the whole class joined the teacher as well). I felt ok for sitting in silence while creating (I make exceptions for your voice and for shenanigans with Sika, you inspire me and make me laugh so hard!). You are a wonderful teacher as well as you are a crafter. Thank you for your presence on youtube!

[@Jax04457]

These 10 things i didn't know aboit you are intresting unlike me 😥You're amazing Teacher Jackie!! 1 thing you didn't know about me is... I took singing and Guitar classes. Then when I saw the beauty of crafting and art, I started becoming more artsy

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

+Gaming 0671 that's so interesting! Do you prefer acoustic or electric more?

[@vadr0ka]

Here's the most ironic fact about me: I'm an artist, but I'm colorblind. It gets discouraging sometimes because I want to do so many things with color, yet I can't see them all and I feel like its holding me back. Despite it not being such a major thing.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am not a big listening to music fan either!!!!!........ and everyone thinks I am so weird! I don't hate it but I just feel like it disrupts my thoughts. I am glad to know I am not alone in this lol

[@virninjawilliams7251]

I had a really mean 4th grade teacher too. I told her what I wanted to do when I grew up and she laughed in my face. I love watching your drawing videos because I'm at around the same level and it's so nice to see. Watching videos of professionals can be intimidating and discouraging at times.

[@annmareeofoz]

Oh man so sorry to hear about that teacher. My own highschool art teacher was very pessimistic and judgemental about everyone's art at our school, saying it had no meaning, and could be better etc. Like I get constructive criticism but most of what this teacher did and said weren't helpful. I'm a sleep singer if it's any consolation! Found this out at 10 when we went away for dance camp, and I apparently get my roomies awake singing half the night! LOL!!! #metoo hugs xo

[@HJ-lq9qq]

I live alone after getting divorced four years ago I was married 36 years!!!! I have no family and your vids keep me going thank you for being you

I have ADD and I need music to focus to work. Sometimes i get distracted but it helps alot. Most of the time I would plug in my earbuds and focus on my work and when I'm finished I'll remember I was listening to music. Lol

[@zombiecheshireproductions]

I am glad you have shared some of your experience, even though it is hard. Know that you have support from me and a lot of understanding when it comes to the difficult topics and when it comes to a few other things on this list. I am so glad I watch your channel, you make some rather wonderful and fun things and I just really enjoy your content. Something you may not know about me is that I used to be a weight lifter and a singer. I spent a lot of my time behind the scenes of the stage though, preferring not to be seen unless I was with a group of people.

[@resilientartslaurielynn5687]

Very nice th8ngs to know about u Jackie🤗 I've definitely been enjoying your videos this past year or so. One thing about me is I LOVE racecar and I was the fastest female racecar driver on my side of the state for 4yrs. Miss it so much🙄

[@suzannerobinson5191]

A fact about me is I struggle so much with self belief. Also those teachers were shocking to u. And as for classics I guess I do kinda love them. Jane Eyre (pronounced air lol) is my absolute favourite. I have such an affinity with books. But I also appreciate not everyone likes the classics and that's fine too 😊 xx

[@maiadion557]

I CANNOT read if there's tv background or music...cant focus. But listening to music while doing shores that the best. La compagnie créole en faisant la vaisselle! 😃

1 thing about me: my favorite KZbinr is NerdEcrafter 🙂

[@amandaford506]

And this is why I fell in love with you as a KZbinr. I just found you and started binge watching. I love everything you do and your personality. Now I know why! I have been told I have jatimoto disease but they just took out half my thyroid and basically told me I’m fine now but I do not feel fine at all. I to am part of #me2, I moved out on 17th birthday. I love art and crafts but don’t think I’m good. I have trichotillomania and many mental health issues that I struggle with on a daily basis. #invisibledisease we should all stand together! You are amazing!

[@chelsajillard]

Those teachers should have been fired. I'm so glad you're here now doing what you do! You are very inspiring!

[@KYNAEVIL]

They told you that you couldn’t, so your a youtuber, artist and also a teacher... pft you showed them and you became our salty queen ❤️

[@flofelts]

I got emotional during the art story. I've been in a sort of similar situation. I had a really nice art teacher at my old school and during thd last term she left and no one knew why. We then had a substitute for the rest of the year. She started an African topic with us and we had to make a topic page. I cut out a peice of brow paper in a mask shape and drew patterns on it, like my own tribe mask, and stuck it on the page. The teacher took one look at it and said "What is that? That's rubbish." which struck me to hear a teacher be so discouraging. It's all fine now, I moved school and it turns out the nice art teacher had moved there so she knew me and I still say hi to her even though I dont do art or DT anymore.

[@Gantorin]

Few things about me: 1. I wanna go after that art "teacher" of yours... ugh... 2. Favorite color is Yellow 3. Born with Cystic Fibrosis 4. Love playing misic and making art equally, but art has won the life long battle (alto sax) 5. I can google myself at UF Gator game in the marching band.

[@TheDlove1313]

[@Gamyeon]

Do you still do karate? I did Tae Kwon Do during ten years. I stopped at the end of highschool but I'd love to start again. I did some aikido too but it didn't last long. What an horrible at teacher! I know I would've cried on the spot (I was quite the crybaby when I was a child). Does Pat try to have conversations with you? My boyfriend sometimes sleep-talk and we can exchange a few sentences before he falls back to sleep. Doesn't always makes sense, but it's really funny xD. I've read classics in the context of my classes, but I haven't mustered the motivation to read some on my own free time. Some look really good like Sherlock Holmes, but others are like "ugh" like Jane Austen. I'm a lefty. We're actually a majority of lefty in my family: me, my mom and my sister. My dad is the sole right-handed man xD. My mom was also discouraged from using her left hand when she was a child because in Catholicism it was known to be the hand of the devil. It's nice to know you had your brother to support each other. Being out in the big world at 17 seems scary, especially if it happens suddenly. Hugs for the #metoo. I'm lucky, I haven't been prey to much harassment or catcalling in my life (although I'd kick the but of anyone doing so) and sometimes I feel bad for not relating to all those people (or being there to defend them). For a draw my life, you could draw environnements instead of making them out of clay but still have a clay mini-Jackie that you could move around. Depends if drawing would be less time and energy consuming. Okay so here's a few random facts about me: - My favorite video game series is Ace Attorney. You like puns? Play that game! It's full of it! I also enjoy the genre (so point and click like), the gameplay, the music, the design of the characters, the story, all of it really! It's one of the few series I've played more than once. - I'm very much a Jack of all trades. I can be good at a lot of things, but I'm rarely excellent at anything. It has caused me some heartaches when trying to decide what to study or what career to choose and still does when I'm trying my hand at something since I can often master basics but after that I don't progress as quickly as others. - I'm a sucker for masks. They can be so pretty. My username actually means "mask" in Korean. - I'm a LARPer. LARP stands for "live action role playing", also called "Grandeur Nature" in French. - I'm a translator =) (English to French). Hope you learned some interesting bits about me! Also, I can't seem to be concise whenever I'm commenting. I hope this doesn't bore you too much u-u.

[@gnorman8852]

I have always had a soft spot for Asian art & food. Probably because I lived on Okinawa as a child & later Korea in high school.

[@samanthaknapp3334]

You should definitely make another one of these I love hearing about your life Jackie and it makes me love you so much more

[@sharonshin4574]

Awesome video, Jackie!!! Proud of you. By the way, if you ever see that teacher again....you can tell her. Look at me now. I'm a crafter!!! Your hair looks good. I like it. Fact about me... I was bullied in both high school and college and I didn't let it bother me...I actually totally ignored those people. My life was so much better that way.

[@shnicklefritz15]

You are wonderful! I love that we’re getting to know you better. I just started following your channels, but I love them! Thank you for letting us know more about you.

[@thecraftycorner_jannak]

Love your channel and your creativity. 3 facts... 1. I was adopted from Peru 2. I too had a mean teacher experience, my music teacher told me to quit playing the flute. I now play 12 instruments and play trombone for a semi professional band. 3. I am dyslexic.

[@fitemple8752]

Hmmm... random facts about me... I’m naturally ambidextrous too, but I was born with a toe thumb (if you don’t know what that is, look it up) on my left hand so while I am technically equally able with my two hands, it’s a lot easier to write and stuff with my right hand because my thumb doesn’t reach far enough to hold a pencil properly with my left. Also, I’m pretty much the opposite of you with art. By late primary school, art seemed like a chore to me. It was always so closely defined by what the teacher told us even if that wasn’t the best way I could see to do things for an artwork. By that time, I hated art. In year seven, I finally got the courage to try drawing something and I won a competition with that so I decided that art might be a good idea after all. Fast forward and now I’m going into grade eleven and not only do I adore arts and crafts, but most different forms (sculpting, painting etc) seem to come to me really naturally, although there’s always room to improve of course! It’s weird how often people see the things I make and just assume that all my thoughts towards and memories of art are positive because I do it a lot and I’m good at it. I feel like that got pretty long for two points, sorry about that. 😁

[@niccalove23]

I love how honest you are lol, some classics are kinda boring but I love them so much

[@martinatate7894]

Same thing happened to me with the ambidextrosity except that it was the people at my nursery that would hit me if I used my left hand which was my dominant hand because it was wrong. I can still use both hands a bit and dominance depends on what I'm doing like I'm better with sewing with my left hand but write better with my right

[@lynneweir5842]

Sorry, I'm getting to this so late. Been doing mad shifts over Christmas, including Christmas day. But I just couldn't help but leave a comment. Your incredibly brave to mention the last two things even though you didn't go into detail and you do seem to be in a really great place now which I hope is the case. I also had an art teacher who picked on me, she also had me for PE which I was terrible at so that was a nightmare. I think its due to that that I didn't really get into arts and craft until after high school. That hashtag also applies to me so I understand completely why you didn't want to dwell too deeply on it. I just want to thank you though as there was a while when I was going through bad anxiety and depression and your videos offered a wonderful distraction for me during those times. It was also from watching your tutorials that I'm into some of the crafts that I'm into now. Sorry, this is so long just wanted to say thank you for your videos and thank you for sharing today. That's all really sad stuff though I've mentioned so I'll end by giving you a fun fact about me. I love dogs, have a pet Jack Russell calle Louie and I did Judo when I was young

[@Nonchansdolls]

You're such an awesome person. It's really a brave thing to share all these facts with us. By the way, i like how your mouth looked like bulbasaurs from this angle. So cute! ^_^

[@amythestkitty]

That teacher needed to be FIRED. You are an amazing artist. Art isnt about what you can do its about expressing yourself and doing things that you love. That teacher pardon my french... is a piece of shit. This is why children dont have motivation to do anything because of people like that. We love you Jackie, dont ever stop being you ♥

[@hannahfrank5781]

1. I don't like christmas tree lights on because i was in a fire caused by one 2. drawing and hand writing stresses me out because I have a visual motor disconnect along with an anxiety disorder 3. I want to be a chemist

[@samp.1348]

Hi Jackie. I’m just seeing this vlogbut there are a couple of things I want to hit on. First, I am allot older than you ( I’m 67 now in 2021) but some of our stories are the same. I agree about the classics, I love to read or use to, I listen to audio books now. For 15 years it took me 1 1/2 hours to get to work , one way so I got use to listening to books. Anyway back on the subject I read young adult sci-fi. Classics are boring and I can’t get thru them. 2nd, the thing about the music, I bet you like music but not when you’re concentrating. Lots of people like that. I always had music on especially when doing homework as a kid unless it was something I was struggling with, like math. I was out of my house at 18 but I did it a little differently, I got married. Not the best decision BUT I stuck with it and we will 49 years this Aug, 2021. And last I guess I should belong to the me too movement BUT I don’t let it define me anymore. It took me 50 years to be able to say that AND I forgave the person who also took away my trust of people. That has been a little harder to get over but one day at a time. Oh by the way I don’t think I’m an artist or even a crafter but everyone else does. I don’t see it AND I always wanted to be in the theater but My life went a different way. You know what! No regrets! Sorry this is so long but thanks fir listening. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but 🤷🏼‍♀️.

[@Rosie4148]

Art is all in the eye of theneholder. Never forget that.

[@KimJiMi45]

I still remember when i comeback from 'sick leave' in primary school and we were drawing a tree, i draw two simple strokes, without any perspective etc and my teacher shouted at me that that is not a way to draw a tree. I don't know why, but this make me to stop drawing for nearly 7 years, even though i loved it. Anime and manga made me interested in drawing again and now i love doing it and people like my art. I even thought about going to School of art, but i choose Asia (my other love ;P) People should always take responsibility for their words or emotions because one comment can change other person life.

[@Jankuso19]

Lol umm, no. In Australia you can find random snakes in your house. In New Zealand you'll see random Daddy Long Leg spiders LOL! I almost pooped my pants when I saw my first Huntsman spider here in Australia lol! I'm a newish (earlier this year) sub, thank you for sharing yourself with us 💜. Fun facts about me - I'm a kiwi living in wallaby territory 😄. My fave colour is green. I never knew I had an artistic side until my children brought it out of me. I found the NerdEcrafter channel first because I wanted to see reviews on RC cars from the Wish app & thank goodness KZbin recommended your Wish video. I've been hooked ever since. As a parent I value your reviews as I can't afford to buy wasteful things for my kids 😏 K, this comment is too long lol. Thanks again Jackie. My daughter and I love watching your videos. Take care 💜

[@amandah2866]

What horrible teachers you have had! I'm shocked by that. I'm totally jealous of your ambidextrousness, that's awesome. The whole left-handed people are from the devil is one of those historical fears (like red hair) that have really persisted based on the notion that it's "different". I'm truly sorry for the struggles you've had in your past Jackie. It's really hard when home isn't the safe place it should be, I know it left me feeling very isolated. I think it's brave of you to even mention these things. Just because the metoo hashtag applies to your life doesn't mean you should feel pressured to go into detail. There's a reason why the law protects victims/survivors identity, you have the right to keep these things privet no matter who you are or what you do for a job. I hope you've got some healing from just saying that you too have had an experience. It applies to me as well and I also don't want to go into detail. Oddly enough I don't have the same reservation about going onto detail about my emotionally abusive mother.

Here’s a fun fact...I’m a Minister...Preacher....Clergy. Btw Jackie thank you for showing women and girls it’s ok to open up...share about yourself. Alsoooo, this was so much fun.

[@tsunamijas192]

Music is my savior.. I keep a earplug in my ear all 8 hours of the school day until the teachers fuss at me for having loud music 😂💀🙄

[@wolfpack8325]

Nerdy crafter. You are so strong .. we will all support you.

[@baileypatton2573]

Jackie, I know there is a very slim chance you will see this, and this video is a little old so I might be too late but I want you to know that you are my idol (I know that sounds weird but hear me out), you have really brought me and many people through so much, with your positivity and love. I’m not that old, I’m under 18, and I also belong to #metoo. It’s hard to live like that especially when it is someone you trust or love. For the last 3 or 4 years I have struggled with suicidal thoughts and even attempting suicide, drug, and alcohol abuse after many months of abuse from a family member, and being in and out of hospitals. I have kicked out of the house for a while so you are not alone. Yet all of this I have found light in your videos, just a moment where my mind doesn’t race and I can think or even laugh. You are so strong, and so beautiful in every way, you have changed peoples lives for the better and I just want you to know that. Thank you Jackie, really, thank you. - some random girl on the internet ❤️

[@kellyfrancis1347]

Watching this years later but i just wanted to say you are amazing.... also you should so come to New Zealand if you haven't already.

[@shawnam1023]

#metoo too... here to support you, Jackie 💙 (Or anyone else unfortunately involved)

[@deputydawgoneit]

I've been watching your main channel for a while and just started bingeing on this one. I usually lean more towards paper crafts, coloring and the like - in part because I am super duper clumsy. I'd love to be able to sculpt all the things you do, but just watching it is pretty cool. The thing no one knows about me....(until now I suppose) I don't like the Lord of the Rings books. I have tried many times to read them over the years and just can't get into them.

[@allisonwallace4022]

I have a disorder known as “bone age” that makes me about 6 inches shorter than the average person my age. What basically happened was that I stopped growing/grew at a slower rate when I was little (we aren’t sure which), then I started growing at a normal rate but by this point I was really short. I’ll keep growing after all my peers stop growing.

[@yiting-_-zz7417]

You said that you didn’t understand classics... honestly, me too. I started reading the original Frankenstein and couldn’t understand it that much and gave up... but, there are some nice classics like “The Wizard of Oz” series and “The Secret Garden” are amazing and easy to understand(granted they are for children...)and that is coming from a 13 year old...

[@preshkyutie2508]

Thanks for sharing your 10 things with us. Two of mine would be that my husband and I call our favorite video game (Borderlands) marriage counseling. We even have a Borderlands tattoo on our ring finger. I have Bipolar Disorder. Your videos help me so much on a depression day.

[@coolcatali1294]

Jackie I also sleepwalk. When I was little I must have sleepwalked into the garden, my mum found me sleeping under a bush. Also I make felt things out of my cat Max's fur.

[@ladytimeoin]

Late to the game ...as always. Fact about me, I am the only one in my family (husband and 2 kids) to not have ADHD in some form. I have a phobia of caterpillars and butterflies/moths. Of all the animals/bugs to be scared of in Australia... it's caterpillars.

[@raenelson5438]

Since you like non-classic books, if you enjoy zombies or apocalyptic things, I recommend the "Alice in deadland" series. Its one of my favorite series.

[@elizabethbennett6748]

My house burnt down when i was in year 5 and i was bullied for it but it made want to become an artist because art made me forget all the bad things

[@KraftyKarly]

When I was in 3rd grade. We had to draw the stations of the cross. ( I went to a private catholic school) I drew mine and my 3rd grade teacher told me they weren't good enough and that I had to start over. I went home and told my mom. She drew them for me and I colored them in. Teachers should be there to encourage. Not tear down!

[@britann9539]

Youre such a beautiful soul Jackie 💞 Thank you for sharing with us ^.^ One fact about me: my cat is my actual best friend. We go for walks together often and he sleeps in my arms every night =^.^=

[@CuriosityRocks]

Cuddles for the bad things

[@themisfitowl2595]

Oh my absolute stars! A teacher should NEVER rip up a person's artwork in front of them like that! That is absolutely horrible! You do not suck at art Jackie, you just had bad teachers, REALLY bad teachers!

[@tigger1983]

Thanks for the little get to know Jackie. As for point 10, you are far from alone, I belong to #MeToo as well. But a more fun fact about me I guess is. Although art is my first creative love nowadays, when I was younger I used to be an avid pianist and Judo student. I had to give up Judo due to bad physical health though :(

[@trinkab]

I hated classics for the same reason. But if I watch a movie of a classic (with an accurate script and actors enunciating, acting out, and reacting to the words properly, then the next time I read it I can 'fill in the blanks' or skip some of the archaic stuff and the more I watch and read, the easier it gets because I can visualize the actors saying the words and the feelings they are supposed to evoke. And if the actors talk deliberately and as if the person they are acting with has NOT heard the words a thousand times before, pausing where appropriate - not just because they need to take a big inhale before spewing out another paragraph of speech - the meanings of things becomes clearer and easier to immerse yourself into.

[@Seoulsearch616]

I hope that those teachers that tore up your picture and said you shouldn't be onscreen get buried - in a salt 🧂 mine. 😠 We love you Jackie! 💖🤓

[@mother_burrito]

I know I'm late to this post (i'm catching up on older posts, we call it NerdEBinging in my house) but I just wanted to mention how much I love this, (except for the past traumas part) and how much we have in common (which includes some of the trauma). Even on the days when there are no spoons, when doing anything, can be too much, your grains have your back.

[@VanniLani]

sifting through some of your old videos and very happy I found this one. it just solidifies that I idolize such a humble person who is beautiful inside and out. I am also part of the #metoo crowd and it wasn't just one occasion. I love sushi and Fallout 4 and webtoon comics and archie comics. I make shrinky dinks and draw, paint and read. I have a son and daughter. I'll have my bachelor's degree in less than a year! I am majoring in psychology and also want to get my masters. Sending you love from this blast from the past video!

[@karolinakrzysiek2278]

yes, we do have weird names like ,,karolina''.

[@jessbutterfly1934]

I had teachers bullying me and put me down and school and I am so glad that you became a teacher because forever teacher like you you change a Childs life that has possibly been destroyed by a teacher who has discourage them or put them down just like you were you’re worth more than 10 bad teachers and you save lives teachers need to learn the bad ones that the words really impact children even at our high school level and they really have a responsibility as to what they say and do because it can end up with a child not wanting to pursue anything any more even my papa who is 85 years old was told in our class he couldn’t draw his own breath if youse life depended on it now I get him to try and do stuff and he’s really good and he is an even better academic he could one rings around with teachers that taught him.

[@rambaby23]

thankyou Jackie. I love watching you , it's like a good catch up with a friend, you are so open, honest, and amazing. please keep on doing what you are doing.... Acouple facts? 1, I am a spiritualist medium, yes I believe in god, and yes I see and speak to dead people 2, I'm just starting to develop my own character and have recently had greetings cards professionally made to sell, plus have been approached by a publisher to have my poems made into a book. hope they dont frighten people away, once again, thankyou Jackie x

[@plainjane1628]

I had a similar experience with a English teacher. She pulled me out of class and accused me of plagiarism on a poem. I'd never herd of the one she said I copied. I have also always been a slow reader and can't spell to save my life. But then in High school I was on the literary arts committee and even got published in a national poem contest. Then, through college, I excelled at all my English classes and was invited to help tutor some other students. So yeah, some teachers are full of shit. ❤️

[@heatherhatton2282]

You're an amazing person, Jackie.

[@suzie252510]

I think we are definitely related. I love manatees. I can play the trumpet and the trombone.

[@yesyart1179]

What kind of teacher it's that I hope she now see how a great artist you become. We never judge others work or creation that's relative and really rude.

[@jordanblack9260]

Hi! So, I know this video is from quite awhile ago, but I wanted to comment and say you're such an amazing person to watch, and it's very courageous of you to share some of the more serious things about yourself! A couple of things about me is that I'm autistic (my mom always kinda knew, but it took forever to get me diagnosed because 1) teachers thought I was just quiet so she couldn't get reccomendations and such, and 2) I'm an afab individual so my autism presents in a less extreme manner (autism in afab vs amab people is actually rather different in the way it presents and most standards of diagnosis are based off of symptoms of amab people because they are typically more visible) which made it really hard to get a diagnosis. If we hadn't gone to the doctor we did it's very likely I would've been misdiagnosed with add or adhd along with ocd and depression. That got long,,, but another tidbit is I suffer from PTSD and I struggle to feel valid and true in that diagnosis because the experience I had that my brain reacted to as trauma is so much less,,,, severe (I'm not sure what word to use, so sorry bout that!) than what many others have experienced/than what many people actually consider to be "trauma"

[@marciwhitman3513]

What is AFAB? AMAB? Does this have anything to do with being transgender? I'm confused 😳

[@jordanblack9260]

@@marciwhitman3513 AFAB is Assigned female at birth, AMAB is assigned male at birth! It's basically a shorthand way to say what sex the doctors said you were at birth (so what chromosomes and organs you have, typically)!

I'm crazy for the movie, Xanadu. I'm a huge Olivia Newton-John fan, and that movie is a sentimental favorite for me.
