You all know that I always have to have some creative outlet brewing. I continue to enjoy teaching, but I can only get excited about vertebrates and inverts for so many years. This year I am very excited about working with members of the environment club to create an educational dvd that will be distributed to our NH families (and maybe beyond). This project gives me great excitement. Grading papers is such a drag and I miss you Shelley and your willingness to grade-for-pay. (Luke opts out of this easy money.)I love my job, but there are parts that are less fun--such is life!
I have been mulling around the idea of this educational piece for several months. Finally Mr. Howard pushed me to outline my ideas. I couldn't do it. How did I get in a family of writers and I struggle so with this aptitude. When all else fails...diagram it! Being the visual learner that I am, I sat down on our lovely screened in back porch and drew my ideas out. (I had to do this with my "professional assessment paper at Candler my senior year, too) My drawing sort of freaked out my two co-sponsors for the environment club. I know we are not all visual people.
I have often wondered how the three of you are all such excellent writers; and I struggle so with this skill. That's it--it's a skill for me and a gift for you three. Writing must be a dominate trait.
I enjoy reading your blog entries. I will be a lesser contributor, but an avid supporter. (Remember, forgiveness and mercy for spelling and grammar mistakes)
