All+About+Mrs.+McCord

__Some things about you might not know Mrs. McCord:__ 1. I recently married the love of my life, Johnnie. We were married April 17, 2010!

2. Johnnie and I have two puppies, Leia and Dazi. They are fawn boxers who were born March 31, 2009. Both girls came from the same litter and keep us very busy.



3. I grew up in Lake Jackson, about 37 miles South down 288, with my mom and younger sister, Nikki. I graduated from Brazoswood High School and then went to Sam Houston State for a year. After changing majors from Criminal Justice to Education, I moved to Houston and attended University of Houston-Clear Lake where I received my Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am currently certified to teach Early Childhood through 4th grade, but hope to get my certification to teach middle school sometime soon.



4. Johnnie and I recently bought a house in Rosharon, so we are now officially able to vote for Alvin ISD elections and bonds!

5. I taught 2nd grade Math/Science/Social Studies last year, but with the name Miss Hudzietz on my door.

6. For my 20th birthday I went skydiving and I loved it. I would love to go again and eventually be able to dive solo. I would also love to get my pilot's license.

7. My favorite type of food is Mexican. My mother said that was all I wanted when she was pregnant with me.

8. My favorite drink is Dr Pepper, which I learned they do not serve in Disney World.

9. While my absolute favorite pastime is reading, you will also find me shopping, doing crafts and spending time with the people and animals I love. I like to spend time outdoors, but only once this Texas heat dies down a little.

10. I never wear matching socks! If I am wearing shoes that require socks, they will be some combination of whatever two socks I pulled out of my sock drawer that morning. So needless to say, I have a huge collection of crazy knee socks and love collecting more!

11. The childhood experience that sticks out most in my mind was when my mother took my sister and me to China to spend the summer. I was 13 and my sister was 9. My mother took us to the Shenzen zoo, which is very different from the Houston zoo. Trainers walk around with the animals and allow you to take pictures and interact with them. I have pictures where I am holding a monkey, sitting with a black bear and even being pulled in a cart by a baby lion. The most amazing part was Monkey Hill. It is a tall hill enclosed by gates where hundreds of monkeys live. You walk along paths and monkeys are everywhere! I am still amazed at how cool that place was even though it was 15 years ago.



12. The Kid finally arrived! Our daughter, Lilley Joan, was born 12/24/2011. While it was wonderful being at home with her for 8 weeks, I couldn't wait to get back to my 90 "kids" here at Wilder!
