Intro

Hi! My name is Jessica Sims and I am technically a senior but will not graduate till spring 2011. This is only my second year at EKU, I started my college career at Uk. So I am a huge UK fan, but not one of those annoying ones. My major is Special Education LBD with emphasis in Elementary Education. I just recently switched to LBD so I am very interested in this course. I still live in Lexington so i commute to Richmond 4 days a week. I was born and raised in Lexington and I will probably never leave, I could not bare to be away from my mom. My family is the most important thing in my life along with my boyfriend of 4 years. When I am not at school I am at work at Harry's in Palomar, so if I ever seemed stressed it is because 35 hours of work and a full school load is getting to me.

  1. Hi Jess, I live in Lexington, too. What high school did you attend? I worked for the Fayette County public schools for 15 years.

  2. I went to Paul Laurence Dunbar. It is a great school. Were you in the schools, or downtown in the offices? I do most of my observations in Lexington so if you have any teachers that you recommend observing I would love to know.

  3. Jessica, I taught for 10 years at Ashland Elementary, 1 year at Rosa Parks and 4 years out of the Central Office or now as it is called, It's About Kids office. That was the first 15 years of my career. The last 7 have been in School Improvement with the last 4 of those teaching part time here at EKU.

    My step-son graduated from Dunbar in 2004.
