Marching glasses
Greetings,
Ah, the gentle hum of long empty happy hallways receiving voices, footstep falls as students traverse new beginnings. Spring term is alive and well.
We teach writing to Sophmore English majors this go around. They had a tough time last term with a new teacher who, sadly, was not sensitive to their needs and treated them badly. They said they didn't really learn anything about writing. They requested a replacement and our name is Consistent.
It's a gentle smooth transition allowing them to see and comphrend this is a new beginning. The past, we said, is the past and life gives us these challenges and we move forward. We focus on teamwork, dynamic writing groups, trust, dignity and respect.
It is an elective course; no text, tests or roll. This allows them the freedom to accept the personal responsibility to show up, do the work and write. It's about passion and process.
We arrived with a beautiful red rose to brighten a bland white room with color and scent. Add water.
Peace.
