If you didn’t know Ms. Loveless, she loves reading, looking at shows like community theater, playing with cats and comes from a small town raised by her two loving parents. She has a great older sister and she had a really great childhood. She’s from a small town called Adrian, which is 50 miles from Amarillo in Texas. Adrian is smaller than YMLA. Their  high school had 15 students in her graduate class. After graduating “I attended West Texas A&M since it was really small and close to home until I got a full scholarship to attend Baylor” and then became a teacher like her mother.

Her mother was a teacher and a perfectionist. She is  good at having her students upheld high standards to get the best results. Her mother was not only a teacher but also her biggest supporter when she stopped being a teacher. She started to miss being a teacher. She missed being part of the moment when a student finally understands what they’re being taught. She loves that amount of happiness, the “I understand it now.” She wanted to get back into teaching the swing of things. That’s when I knew I was meant for being a teacher, an educator.

She came to YMLA after being impressed by Mr. White. “I like how YMLA is so small, like a small town” similar to Adrian, the town she grew up in “where everybody knows each other.” Now she looks like her mother. She has a brother in law with an older sister. Her niece went to International School of Texas Arlington (ILTexas Arlington K8) and her nephew works with computers. She is our middle school English teacher.

As for being a teacher “I want all, not some, but all students to grow and know that they’re growing” after all she loves being able to “see so many students grow into fully grown adults.” For her closing remarks, she left with some advice “Don’t give up on your dreams.”
