Mikaela

April 11 is the 101st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (102nd in leap years).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only just found that out, 101 is kinda special to me.
Also surprising that many of the people born on this day in the past are either singers, actor/actress,
writers, film makers or athletes; most of whom are artistic or athletic
Does that suggest something about me and what I can do?
The first person on this list "a Roman Emperor", amazing! but too out of reach
The last person on this list, "a 15-year-old director", a genius!
James Parkinsons is about the only person I know apart from Joss Stones, who really isn't popular.Being born on the same date as him is kinda cool, but I hope I'll have nothing to do with the disease named after him.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
