Lisa's Story
Life
I was involved in band throughout college. I graduated from the University of Houston in the May of '99 with an English Degree. I married the love of my life on April 3, 2004 and we have recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary and enjoying every moment of marriage. I am a 3rd grade teacher at Odyssey Academy, a Texas Charter school in Galveston, Texas. It is very challenging, but I enjoy every minute!
School
Mr. George Parks was the most inspiring teacher. He was my Senior English teacher and he taught me to love literature and especially Shakespeare. It is because of him I have an
English Degree and decided to become a teacher.
If I could do it all again, I would have been bolder and stronger as a teenager. Unfortunately, those traits didn't appear until college! :o)
College
College was a wonderful experience. ...Expand for more
I graduated from UH in 1999 with a BA in English. I was an active member of Tau Beta Sigma from 1996-1999 where I served as chapter VP, President and District VP. I am currently a life member of the sorority. I also stayed in band throughout college and was lucky enough to travel to Ireland and England to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1996 and 2000.
College was a blast! Loved those parties.
Workplace
I started my work life at the Texas Ice Stadium (where I met my Husband). There I flipped burgers, was a party hostess and eventually became an assistant manager. As for the "real world" jobs, I am finally doing what I believe to be the career for me! After many career changes, I went back to school and received my teaching certificate. I now teach 3rd grade in Galveston. My students are challenging but I love a challenge!
