Book writing/Girls Club/Liasion for Basketball Camps

I love to write, remembering the past, adding adventurous things as well as wisdom. I was asked to start the first girls club in Lancaster ISD district, for troubled girls on our campus. It was so successful, the Master Teacher took it to meetings every campus had a girls club. We took them to Austin for a girls STEM program. I love basketball, my partner is beginning this organization which will be worldwide.
