Jessica Nancy Moore

Jessica Moore is our granddaughter. She is attending BYU-Idaho and is in her third year. From the start of college life, she knew exactly what she wanted to be. She is studying to be a high school biology teacher. I think she will be an excellent teacher. She is a confident girl and is not easily intimadated. When I talk to Jessica about teaching as a career, she lights up. Her enthusiasm about her future teaching assignment is wonderful to see. She already has many ideas of things she wants to do in her own classroom.

Jessica loves to be outdoors. She also likes playing sports and was very good in her growing up years in California at a variety of sports. She was often the best player on her team. In her later years of high school, Jessica refereed young kids' soccer games, basketball games, etc.

I love Jessica's laugh. She puts all of her fun personality into the laugh. It makes me smile or laugh myself just to hear her laugh!

I asked Jessica's brother and sister what she liked to do for fun. They said she loves all kinds of music. As a child, she took piano lessons, and she currently plays the guitar.

One of Jessica's favorite things is to go to dances with her friends. She has friends in Utah who "hang out" together when she is home from school.

Last summer Jessica had a job at the Veterans' Hospital in SLC. She did clerical work. Every day she rode into SLC with her dad and brother Driggs (Driggs worked on the grounds). Her dad works at the V.A. and was able to get both Driggs and Jessica good summer jobs.

Jessica is a fun-loving girl who brings joy to any situation. We are very proud of her.
