I have taught Teaching Mathematics to Elementary School Teachers, Algebra I, Fundamentals of Math, Algebra II, Math 5, Math 6, Language Arts 6, Social Studies 6, Reading 6, Language Arts 7, Geometry, Mathematics of Money, Computer Math, Calculus, COBOL, and Business Basic and FORTRAN. I have taught students from grade 5 through college juniors. I also taught mathematics for almost two years at the Ron Jackson State Correctional Facility Unit I in Brownwood. The math teachers who worked with me in Port Arthur cannot say that I forgot how to teach after being an administrator for fifteen years. When I was in Abu Dhabi, I realized that I have a gift for teaching.
I always had a creative streak. I do not know how many lessons I have written over the years, but I do know that I have written over four hundred poems.
I started writing poetry when I was teaching Sunday school at First Christian Church, Port Arthur, Texas. I made the poems and meditations into bookmarks that related to what we were studying. I wrote and self-published ten collections of poetry. I created greeting cards and sent them to people on the prayer list. I also wrote prayers for the people that I worked with and people who asked me to pray for them. I shared mini-collections with the women at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility where I was a volunteer minister for seven years.
We retired and moved to Rochelle, TX in 2005 where we built a log home, planted a pecan grove, and raise goats. We belong to Rochelle Baptist Church where I am an active member of the choir and Women’s Missionary Union. I hope these prayers, meditations, and poems comfort you as much as they have comforted me.view less
