After college graduation, I was fortunate in that I immediately secured a job as an English teacher at Palmer ISD, teaching sophomore English and several combination classes of Advanced Placement English, freshmen and sophomores in one class and juniors and seniors in another. As well, I sponsored Student Council and cheer leading, worked with UIL competition, and worked with TAAS remediation.I graduated with a 3.97 GPA in literature from Dallas Baptist University, receiving numerous awards
