Welcome to Talking Back to the Teacher Podcast
Season 3 Episode 63: The Laudable Longhorn Esther Jesse
GRADUATES!!!! Stand Up! Crossing the stage at 16 is crazy work!! But that is what is happening. Do you remember Christian Okoye? Running Back for the Kansas City Chiefs in the early 90s? That dude had the best nickname ever: The Nigerian Nightmare. That is what the competitors of Esther Jesse must call her in the realm of Speech &Debate... because she EATS. The entire state of Texas knows her in that space. The nation is familiar with her in that domain. And she is about to leave some longhorn-sized hoof-prints on the campus of UT Austin this fall. We have been rocking together for the past 2 years and now she is off!
Her big sis was my guest on episode 31 and this is nothing like that episode.
We spoke on everything. And I had to get in my jabs being a die-hard Buckeye fan. Anyways, Austin is getting a great addition.
In this episode we discuss graduation, Austin, Speech & Debate, mentors, and the folks who had her back throughout this journey.
