Jill's Story
Life
I am a Physical Education Specialist in Tampa, Florida; and have lived here for the last 13 years. I have three children, Phillip (26)who just returned from 2 tours in Iraq with the Army Reserves; Bradley (24) and Halley (21). All three are currently living in Bryan/College Station Texas. I am enjoying teaching PE.
Since I moved to Houston in Feb '77 I have really missed old friends from elementary, middle and high school. Being in Florida, I miss the Texas rolling hills and all the blubonnets in the spring!
College
Even though I got injured the weekend before I was to try out for my gymnastics scholarship, I managed to secure a spot as a freshman on the Class 1 team. I moved to College Station and roomed the first year and a half with Hanna Werner/Castillo. I finally moved on campus Jan 80 and stayed there until the end of my junior year. I foolishly married my coach from Houston (10 years older) and quit school 2 weeks before spring break of my senior year as I was expecting, going to school, and working. I finally returned after Halley was 18 mos old. I graduated in summer of 90 with a BS in Kinesiological Studies and Secondary Math; and started subbing in Bryan....Expand for more
I got a job the next year at the best school with the best principal. However home sucked and after several trips to Michigan to a fantastic workshop, I divorced, and moved to Florida.
Workplace
I am in my 14th year in Hillsborough County and my third year at a beautiful new school!!
I have been President of our local PE Association and presented workshops regularly for our Professional Study Days. In November of 2003 I completed my National Board Certification (in one try and typed the 4 12 page papers in 5 days!) Luckily it has added another $4000 to my meger salary. I also run the after school for some extra cash.
Life is Fun
I am enjoying my life and thankful for every beautiful new day. For the first time in my adult life, I have a fabulous place to live and have had fun decorating each room. It is not much, but it is all mine and well taken care of---which is more than I can say for any house I have ever lived in! I spend my evenings surfing the net or sewing or hanging out with friends. When I have time I also get in a bike ride (either inside or out). On the weekends, I do more of the same and occasionally go kayaking thanks to the generosity of a friend!
