I am an English teacher. I have been teaching for 14 years. I am participating in the Poetry Half Marathon because I always encourage my students to share their writing.. To be fearless. It is time I model this fearlessness for them.
I live in Southern California (High Country) with my husband, two kids (7 & 9), and 5 chickens.
Greetings from another English teacher!
Hope beautiful Southern California will create a lovely setting for you today and that your husband, children, and chickens (had to laugh at that) will cheer you on.
I try to write everything I assign my students, but I fall behind sometimes when I get caught up in grading, but then I look for other creative outlets which I then bring back to the women and men in the desks before me.
Enjoy this journey. . . .
