Thelissa's Story

Life It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since graduation! After high school, I went to college in Austin, graduated and moved back to Houston in 1998. I met my husband, Nakia, in 2000 and we were married in 2002. We have a 4 month old son named Jacob who is our greatest accomplishment! I am an executive director of a non-profit organization and have the current luxury of working from home with Jacob by my side. We hope to have as many children as God will allow. They are truly a gift! School I tried to put on my prom dress about a week ago and recruited my husband to help me zip it. It got about 3/4 up, but would not zip all the way! I will need to lose at least 5 pounds before I can wear it again. I am not even going to try to put on my majorette uniform! High school was great for me. Although I realized how sheltered I was when I got to college, I enjoyed my tenure as a Jones HS student. I remember our band practices, Mrs. Dooley's workouts for the majorettes and drill team, and our pep rallies. I also remember our senior class president who stole our trip money and how when she was expelled, I had to step in. My favorite teacher was Jonas who taught calculus and worked out religiously. Do you remember Mr. Pac...Expand for more
e? Can you believe he is on the school board of Fort Bend ISD? College College life at UT in Austin as an African American was a true experience. I decided to attend UT becuase my mom promised to buy a car for me if I went to school in Texas instead of UPenn. Even though I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different if I had attended UPenn, I am happy that I attended UT. I met so many friends at UT, some of whom I still keep in contact. I remember the black business organization - which for the life of me I can not remember the acronym! I remember all of the company visits and trips we took to Dallas and Houston. I remember all of the parties - even the Alpha parties when they still had a house :) I remember dorm life my freshman year at Jessor in the atheltic dorm on the 3rd floor with all of the football players and the groupies who would knock on our door to see who lived in what room. I remember moving off campus and getting many parking tickets because I either couldn't find a space or didn't have time because I was running late. Best of all, I remember getting ready to graduate and get out of Austin! It was fun, though. Even with the drag and all of the scary and weird looking people that seemed to live there!
