This is my first year at Water Valley. I grew up at Eola, Texas. It's nice to be in a small school setting again. I have been an educator for 35 years, and have been a special education teacher for 33 of those years. I just finished 32 years at Kermit Elementary in Kermit, Texas. I moved here to be close to my family. I love being able to make a difference in the lives of the special education students, and to enable them to be the best that they can be. I have been asked many times...."When are you going to retire?" My answer is always the same..."When I stop making a difference in the lives of children."
