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.
