Hey Pat! (I'm gonna call you that because you said your friends call you Pat, and everyone on Medium are friends :)

Thank you so much for telling us about yourself. We're glad you're here.

MAD respect for a public school teacher. Y'all are heroes imo!

Lastly, although I live in Utah now, I was raised in Houston, Texas so my heart will always belong there!

Wishing you the best :)
