About Me-- Mrs. Cates
I was just wanting to write a little to tell a little about myself, and why I am making this web page.  I went to hish school in Emory, Texas.  I graduated from Rains with my high school diploma in May of 2000.  From there I went to Pairs Junior College.  From that college I got my associates degree in science.  I am attending Texas A&M Commerce at the present time, where I am working on my bachelors in education.  I have chosen Mathematics as my teaching feild.

I was married in April of 2002.   My husband works for the City of Emory, in the water department.  He is  working on becoming a teacher and a coach.  I had a beautiful little girl in August of 2002.  She is a very bright little girl and she can make anyone smile,  especially when you are down.  I love to spend time with my family.  I really enjoy getting to talk to new people, meeting young children, and hearing those outrageous stories they love to tell. 

My hobbies are playing volleyball, being with my family, and I love to make scrapbooks.  I am so excited about getting to work with children.  My goal while working with the children is to make a difference in at least one of their lives.  I am making this web page so I can let the students and parent see my goals and plans for their children.  I want them to know a little about me.   One of the most important things as a teacher I feel is to have lots of communication and involvement with the student's parents .  So by doing this web page it allows the student and parents to see and know a little about me.
