Education
Jenna Bush, together with her twin sister, Barbara, 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.
Barbara Bush 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 legacy member 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 attorney, Robert B. Barnett. The story titled Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope, was the true-life account of a 17-year-old mother who was born with HIV that Jenna had met while working with UNICEF sponsored charities in Latin America and more specifically the drought-stricken Paraguay.
