Early on, I worked as a babysitter; I taught summer Bible classes from the time I was a sophomore in high school. I worked in elementary and high schools as a secretary/treasurer for most of my working career. I was elected as a state representative, and I served in that capacity for four years. I am the mother of two sons and I have eight grandchildren.ver menos
