About me |
This is my second year to teach Spanish at Pewitt High School between Naples and Omaha, Texas. What a warmly welcoming staff and student body! This is my 34th year to teach and and I am still so excited and thankful to be able to teach Spanish to teenagers. I also have had a 21-year career spanning from 1977 to 1998 as a mental health therapist, caseworker/counselor. I have taught 7th-11th grade English very small schools, medium-sized schools, and an inner-city school. I returned to teaching in 1998 to teach only Spanish. I have taught for Liberty-Eylau ISD, Texas (1½ yrs.), Queen City ISD, Texas (13 yrs.), and Atlanta ISD, Texas (7 yrs.).
I have lived in Mexico, Germany, and Guam, as well as in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama. While in Europe, I traveled in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, and (of course) all over (then) West Germany. While living on the island of Guam, I visited the Philippines, Hawaii, Tinian, and Saipan.
I live in Cass County, Texas, and I am blessed with a brother and a sister (both younger), one nephew, three nieces, and their kiddos. I graduated from Atlanta High School, Atlanta, Texas, in 1968; earned my bachelor's degree in Commerce, Texas, and then completed my master's degree at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. While I have no children of my own, I have been so very lucky to collect a huge family of children and grandchildren of my heart. I like to read, sometimes to crochet, to meet new people, and to play spades, canasta, and dominoes. Oh, yes, and I have two dogs who keep me in line. |
