 * **What will you be teaching this year?** Last I heard, I will be teaching three classes of 11th grade English and three classes of Honors 11th grade English.
 * **Are you a new teacher or do you have previous experience (where and for how long)?** Last year was my first year at the Academy AND my first year of teaching.
 * **What brought you to the Academy?** I moved to Texas from Mississippi last August. I was impressed by the real-world preparation the Academy offers its students.
 * **Tell us something about yourself - hobbies, fun facts, etc.** I enjoy traveling, reading (of course!), scrapbooking, and spending time with close friends. Fun fact: I was in **four** weddings this summer, and all of them were back home in Mississippi!
 * **What would you like to learn over the next four days? You can add to this question as the week progresses.** I would like to meet all of the first year Academy teachers, learn everything I missed out on at the beginning of last year (I didn't start until September), and figure out how to use my laptop to work smarter and not harder. :) I would also like to learn how to change my name at the top of this page.
