El Blog de Twanda

        Hello everyone!  I am a student at UTA working on a Masters in Modern Language at UTA.  This blog is part of the course assignment for Dr. Conway’s Currents in European Literature class.

       Just a bit about me:  I have lived in Fort Worth for almost eight years, but I am at heart an Arkansan.  I grew up there and earned my bachelor’s at Arkansas Tech University while spinning flag and playing clarinet in Arkansas’ Band of Distinction.  After graduation, I taught Spanish and U.S. History for four years at Russellville High School.  In 1999 I moved to Texas to attend Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where I graduated with a Master of Arts in Theology in 2003.   After moving to Fort Worth, I met my husband at church.  We have been married for four years, and we have a son who is two and a half.          

After I graduated from seminary, I returned to teaching, and I am in my fourth year at my current school where I teach Spanish I at the Jr. High level.  Because I teach full-time, I am taking only one class at a time, although I plan to take some time off from teaching for the next two years to concentrate on my classes at UTA as well as spend more time with my son at home.
