After graduation from Houston, I went to Mississippi State and majored in international business. State was a lot of fun, and I had a hard decision about where to go from there. With a major in international business, I could have ended up anywhere. Instead, I chose to come back home. My first job helped me realize quickly that I didn't want to be a part of corporate America. From there, I began teaching. I've always loved kids, and there was a big need for Spanish teachers. Since I studied Spanish in college, I thought I'd give it a try. Now, I'm teaching Spanish and International Business at Houston. How crazy is that? Mr. Aitken is the best boss in the world! Yes, things have changed a little at Houston, but we still have a lot to be proud of when it comes to our school. I am enjoying my summers off and working on my masters in education.
