I've always thought that when I grew up I wanted to be a teacher. Some people grow up faster than others. My "growing" was slow. My son tells me that I will never grow up. But, I have achieved my goal, I'm a teacher.

After twenty some years working in corporate America, I found myself faced with the situation of starting over. I worked for a computer leasing company for sixteen years and became the trouble shooter of their inventory data base. With the changes in the computer industry, the company was sold and I was looking for work. Because my expertise was the company, I knew that I would be starting from the bottom no matter what I did. When I attended out-placement counseling, I always came away with one focus. I was told to remember back to my childhood. What was the one thing you most liked to do. The one thing I most liked to do was "play school".

So I went back to school and now I get to "play school" every day. I have been teaching for three years and have never been happier in my life. I teach Computers and Mathematics. I love Math and always have. I believe that math is like a big game. I enjoy sharing that belief with my students. (Some of them never come around to my love for math, but I try.) Technology is our future. It is exciting to coach students into being life long learners in the computer field.

I have enjoyed being girl's track coach at Cocopah. I look forward to another winning season with the track team.

Go MUSTANGS.
