   Danica is one of my heros.

   She graduated Summa Cum Laude and graduated with a BA in Mathematics. She co-authored a paper in the Journal of Physics: Mathematics & General that helped solve a problem in the area of statistical mechanics, now known as the Chayes-McKellar-Winn theorum.
   Not too long ago she put out a book for teen girls called,”Math Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math and not Break a Nail”

   She is a great role model!

   Danica stopped acting for a while to go to college for Math and Science and just wrote a book about math for girls. She is trying to show girls that you can be smart AND sexy. Here’s something from her website: Danica took a hiatus from acting for college, and she graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics! While she was there, she even co-authored a math proof – new research proving an original math theorem – highly unusual for an undergraduate. In fact, she was the only undergraduate invited to speak at Rutgers University’s biannual Statistical Mechanics conference a few years back, and she was featured in the Science section of the NY Times on July 19th, 2005.

   She has a TV show on WE or Oxegen, I can’t remember which one. She’s like a mom and a spy at the same time. I’ve never seen it, it might be canceled.

   I think it’s still on, I’m always seeing commercials on the WE channel for her show. She even has “webisodes” online.

   Sarah, you might be saying she’s in a Lifetime show Inspector Mom, and the episodes are mostly on the web. Check it out:

   Ahhh, Winnie Cooper…the essence of every girl teenage boys wanted but could never have. I’m still a little unrequited about the series finale of ‘The Wonder Years’. It reminds me of my bitter-sweet days in high school. It wasn’t exactly the ending I wanted. Some of you probably know what I’m talking about.
