After high school, I thought I would: Go to college and become a U.N. interpreter! Ha! Fooled me! ;) 






Interesting jobs I've had since high school: Worked in library aquisitions at Baylor University as a student, then as a stay-at-home mom for several years. Although I love being a labor and delivery nurse, by far, my most favorite job was being a childbirth educator! I loved when I taught those classes for 14 years!






Best memory of high school:  Perhaps joining the National Honor Society? Or maybe when I won the Foreign Language Department award. It was the first time I can remember my parents ever going to anything I was involved in at school. 






Best memory since high school:  It would have to be birthing my children. Those were totally awesome experiences! Other than that, it would be when I married James.






Favorite class(es): Everything except for math!






Favorite teacher(s): Mr. Pepperman, Mr. Ferrotti, Miss Rice, Mrs. Bing, Mr. Walter, Mrs. Frankel, Mr. DiRubba






What is something about you that might surprise your former classmates?: That I became a Labor and Delivery nurse instead of teaching or doing something with foreign languages..quite a difference in both fields! I had no clue before I had my children that I would be interested in that.






Message to share with your fellow alumni:  So much to say, so little time.....but I am glad I got to go home in 2001 and see some of our classmates for the first time in 30 years! If you haven't gone to a reunion, you need to. Our classmates have done so well for themselves and are successes in every way!






When would you like to have another class get-together?: Both
