Cultivate your garden.
That’s the message I took away from “Candid” by Voltaire when I read it in high school, and that’s exactly what I’ve done with my life so far — all 26 years of it.
I suppose I took it a bit literally, too, since I love to garden. In fact, if it’s related to homesteading, I’ve probably given it a go or would like to in the future.
I grew up on a cattle ranch in the Hill Country of Texas, and I loved it, although more so in retrospect.
After graduating high school, I attended Texas Tech and earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism. I couldn’t picture myself seeking a career as a news reporter. So, I brainstormed other options and came up with education. I earned my master’s degree in language and literacy education, graduating in December 2011. I’m currently teaching English I Pre-AP at Eastern Hills High School in Fort Worth.
My hobbies include: road and mountain bicycling, rock wall climbing, camping, vegetable gardening, tennis and art.
I live with my life partner, four step children, three chickens, two cats and one dog.
