I often wonder what it would be like to have explored South Texas 1000 years ago.

While walking, I hear the sounds of birds migrating and see the golden grass and Sunflowers, signs of early autumn in the air.

I want to taste a pumpkin latte soon.

I am a wife,, mother, and outdoor enthusiast who loves to hike, garden, read, play the piano and also enjoys cooling with my family.

I pretend sometimes when hiking to be exploring a new planet, as in Big Bend it often feels like we are exploring Mars.

I feel sometimes I am like an Eagle, flying higher.

As I fly, I touch the clouds.

I worry about my health lately as I just turned 50 and realize my time is valuable.

I cry when I think about many of the kids who need access to a better education.

I am a wife, mother, and outdoor enthusiast who loves to hike, garden, read, play the piano and also enjoys cooling with my family.

I understand that teaching is a calling, and requires a service mindset.

I say all children deserve a right to a quality education experience.

I dream of a day when all children feel loved and supported and love learning.

I try to make a difference daily.

I hope you enjoy this course and consider becoming a teacher.
