8. Good afternoon classmates, Ms. Graham, my name is Billie
Camlin. Now I know, you were probably expecting a Sara,
or a Jane, or even maybe a Sally Sue, but not a Billie. I
mean, how many female Billie’s do you know? Well I think
that my name says a lot about who I am and what I enjoy
doing most. Growing up as an only child, a tomboy at that, I
learned a lot of things being a daddy’s little girl and living in
a neighborhood full of nothing but boys. With that said, my
hobbies are spending time with my wonderful husband and
three amazing children, playing softball as well as coaching
my daughters team, and walking the canvas of nature to hunt
wild animals that walk, run, or fly.
