[Member Intro] Speedcubing Mother and Teacher

[Aprylart]

I've been lurking around here for a while and thought it was time I join the forums. I solved my first 3x3x3 in 1982. I learned from my mom and a book from the library. I was 7. I got the "Rubik's Game" for my birthday when I turned 8. I still have it. I was an elementary teacher before I became a mom to 3 kids. In the early 2000s I kept a Rubik's cube on my desk at school. The students would scramble for me, and I would solve. I became introduced to speedsolving in the fall of 2017 after a friend posted online about trying to solve a Rubik's cube. I dug out my old cube, but my hand got too tired turning it! I bought a $3 speed cube at the store and started learning CFOP. I can currently solve a 3x3x3 (best time - 42 sec.) and 4x4x4 (best time - 5:20) . I am learning to solve a Square-1. I currently do some school volunteer work and substitute teaching and like to take my cube along with me to impress the kids. I have no cubing friends in real life, and hope to make some here.

Welcome @Aprylart to the SpeedSolving forums. It is great to have you here and I am glad that you have decided to join SSC. I have only been on the forums for a little over two weeks now, but I have enjoyed every moment of it so far, and the community here is great and I hope that you enjoy it just as much.

I concur with the herding dude. This community is amazing for finding friends, in real life and online.

Hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome!! You should stop by the oldies thread as well... I recently became more active here and have found it to be an enjoyable way to connect and “talk” about Cubing.
