Finals are Over

the second semester finals are in the books. this has been a great first year I have learned a lot of new things and revisited some old. the lit 1 class had a great selection of stories. the stories themselves had common threads and the authors not only had common ties to their work but also to each other. what better way to rediscover great literature than to look closer into the author's life, especially after you yourself have lived nearly 30 years past your first look at some of these classics. as the way college should be there were many challenges to overcome, but none more than the thrill of applying and being hired to teach 2 classes the second 8 weeks, while still keeping up with my 19hrs of studies. the opportunity to write the curriculum and teach 2 courses for Pierpont ctc was a great experience and reinforced my quest to become an educator. thanks to all that continue to support me in this quest.
