How come Sarah Palin is a hunter, beauty pageant contestant, athlete, journalist, Governor and a mom of 5?

It is amazing to see as to how many roles a single person can play - at some or other time of her life. Probably it comes natural to Sarah. We now know that she is the first politician from Alaska to run on a national ticket in a campaign for president or vice president. Also know that Palin was the youngest person, and the first woman, to be elected governor of Alaska.

She has been an athlete and sportsperson right from her childhood. You will be surprised to learn that Sarah and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, and the family regularly ran 5 km and 10 km races.

At Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska, Palin was the head of the school Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She was also the point guard and captain for the basketball team.

She even participated in Miss Alaska beauty pageant, where she was the runner up but could still get the scholarship sufficient for her higher studies. She completed her bachelor’s in journalism and worked as a sports reporter for sometime. She even worked as a fisherman with her husband Todd Palin who is into this business.

Palin has five kids  - Track Palin, Bristol Palin , Willow Palin , Piper Palin and Trig Paxson Van Palin. Her eldest son Track serves in an infantry brigade and will be deployed to Iraq on September 11, 2008. Her youngest son Trig Paxson Van Palin was born few months on April 18, 2008 and has a disorder called down syndrome. The shocking part is that She returned to the office just three days after giving birth!

Sarah Palin is different. She hunts, eats moose hamburger, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane. Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She even used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska. And as Geraldine Ferraro says, this might do it for McCain!
