Pauline Bourne said that teaching was not her first choice. I just went to McNeese in education after being in nursing for three years, Bourne said.
But there are scores of kids who are sure glad she changed career paths.
Especially yours truly, I was one of Mrs. Bourne s favorite students back in 1990.
Bourne has been a teacher at Ward Elementary in Jennings for 35 years. And in those three decades of teaching, a lot has changed.
Except for Mrs. Bourne. Her love of teaching remains strong.
