Do these two lines mean the same?
Does became and had become mean the same thing?
For example:
She was so proud the day she became a teacer
and
She was so proud the day she had become a teacher.
Is there a difference between these 2 meanings? Thanks

The second version attempts to make a time difference between the early point in the day, at which time she actually technically became a teacher, and the day as a whole, during which she experienced pride. Only further context could determine if any point exists in making such a distinction.
