Martha Rogers grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. She spent six months of her junior year studying French in Paris, France. During that time, she enjoyed traveling to other European countries. She acquired an appreciation for the beauty and uniqueness of each city and each country, and the people who make each place so interesting. Martha acquired a bachelor's degree in French from Stephen F Austin State University. There she also met her wonderful husband and best friend, Gary D Rogers. Martha is fascinated with languages and words in general; the power that words carry...to communicate joy or sadness...to destroy or to give Life. She loved to read to her three children as they were growing up; to explore, to travel, to learn about how to live Life. Martha loves teaching children and has a passion for today's children to know their own value and to know the importance of valuing each other. Connecting through civility is so important in every arena of life. Our children are our future, and they deserve the best knowledge, skills, and tools, to help them build the next generation into a strong, productive, and peaceful society.
