Education

Jenna Bush, together with her twin sister, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Bush">Barbara</a>, started her schooling at Preston Hollow Elementary School in Dallas Texas. She then went to The Hockaday School, an independent, college-preparatory day and boarding school for girls from PK-12 grades. In 1994, after her father was elected as the Governor of Texas, her family moved to Austin where the sisters attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School. They both completed high school at Austin High School in the year 2000.

<a href="/biography/jenna-bush-hager">Barbara Bush</a> went to Yale University while Jenna attended the University of Texas graduating in 2004 with a Bachelor’s degree in English. At the same time, she took summer classes at New York University, where she was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_Welch">legacy member</a> of Kappa Alpha Theta, her mother’s sorority. During this time both she and her sister made several appearances on behalf of their father’s re-election campaign, including a speech at the Republican Convention. In later years Jenna and her sister both told People magazine, a popular American weekly magazine with an average readership of more than 46 million, that they preferred not to identify with any political party.

Teaching Career

Starting her career as an elementary school teacher’s aide in 2005 in Washington, D.C, Jenna Bush spent a year and a half at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School where she taught third-grade students. However, from 2006 to May 2007 she took a leave of absence from her teaching post to work at a shelter for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund’s (UNICEF) Educational Policy Department in Latin America. It was this experience that would lead to her writing career and subsequent publishing of Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope.

Writing Career

In 2007 Jenna Bush began marketing a book proposal with the help of a Washington <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Barnett_(lawyer)">attorney</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Barnett_(lawyer)">Robert B. Barnett</a>.

In March of 2007, Harper Collins announced its plans to publish the book and on 28th September of the same year it was released, with an initial print run of 500,000 copies, certainly eclipsing Jenna’s, and everyone else’s, initial expectations on the official launch and first phase sell in of the book. Jenna’s share of the profits went to UNICEF, a charity which has always remained close to her heart, and the rest was given to the young girl whose life story was the inspiration for the book. The money was given with the intention to further her education and break the cycle of poverty and abuse.
