Palin Childhood
|
• When Sarah Palin was just two months old, her family moved to the 'Last Frontier' state of Alaska where she was raised.
• Alaska is definitely not a place for the faint-hearted and Palin's school days often began with a moose hunt in the Alaskan wilds. On most of the cold winter days, she used to go ice-fishing and hiking with her father and siblings. Summers were spent going on early morning runs and marathons with the whole family.
• The family lived frugally with Palin's father working over-time as a hunting and fishing guide as well as a bartender to help make ends meet.
• Palin attended Wasilla High School where she was the leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
• She was the captain and point guard of the school's girls' basketball team. When the school won the Alaska state championship in 1982, Palin was nick-named 'Barracuda' for her competitive streak.
• Her father Chuck remembers, "Sarah got a lot of stern discipline from me and a lot of love, devotion and faith from her mom. I'd push her a lot in sport and outdoor activities. I taught her to believe she could do anything in the world she wanted to do, if she put her mind to it."
• While her classmates graduated to take up teaching, accountancy and police work, Palin had set her sights on public recognition. She had strong ambitions to become a sport commentator and television presenter.
• Palin had been an avid reader of loved books such as 'Old Yeller' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.
