My name is Elisa Thompson, and I am embarking on a new journey to become a high school English teacher! After graduating from ASU in 1990 with a Bachelor's degree in English, I stayed home to raise my family. Throughout the years I've written copy for merchandise catalogs, indexed books, written 6 novels, taught piano lessons, and done lots of substitute teaching in the Mesa Public School District. Now that my children are finally becoming somewhat self-sufficient-- ages 23, 18 and 10-- I am looking forward to this next leg of my journey.]]> 2016-08-24 19:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elisamthompson/myjourney/wish/119695183
