My name is Jessica Yolanda Winston. I have lived everywhere from Heidelberg, Germany to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I was born in Ft. Bragg, NC. My mother is a Gulf War Veteran and is retired from the Army. My father passed away January 25, 2010 due to health complications from contracting Hepatitis C some 20 years ago. My mother is an ordained minister and she currently resides in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. I have a sister who is a Registered Nurse and a Brother-in-law who is a contractor. They live in Caroline County with my two nephews Chance (11) and Jimmy-Sayvion (8). I also have two God-Daughters, Jaida (6) and Amara (2). I love spending time with friends and family. I am a member of Faith and Family Church I absolutely love my church home! My Parents I graduated from Chowan University in 2004 with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I taught second grade for 2 years in Norfolk Public Schools. I relocated to Chesterfield and started teaching second grade at Harrowgate Elementary before redistricting led me to Scott Elementary. I will begin my 7th year of teaching in the Fall of 2010. I started my own online business this year (The Teaching Oasis) and I must say that I have surpassed any professional and career goals I could have ever set for myself! This summer I look forward to expanding my new website as well as updating this one.
