My name is Jessica Hicks! I am an
Education Major studying Early Childhood through 6th Grade Generalist
at Angelo State University. I am originally from Boerne (Burn-ie) Texas also
known as the gateway to the Texas Hill Country. Boerne is located 30 miles
north of San Antonio. I lived 18 years of my life in Boerne till I decided to
come out west to San Angelo to pursue my dream as an Elementary Teacher. I knew
from when I graduated from Boerne- Samuel V. Champion High School that I wanted
to be a teacher just from all the excellent teachers who inspired me to do so.
My dream job one day is to be an Elementary School Counselor, and I am getting
there one step at a time. During the summer I work at Hermann Sons Youth Camp
in Comfort Texas as a Rock Climbing specialist. This is the job that really
confirmed that I knew I wanted to work with children as a job. This job is so
much fun I would recommend anyone to at least work one summer as a camp
counselor just for the fun and experience.
