Exuberance.
\nI am happy to report that all 21 of my Developmental Writing students passed my class. This achievement included having their portfolio’s externally reviewed! I am proud of them. I wish them all the best with their budding academic experience. I hope that they take what they’ve learned (including, I hope, a renewed desire to learn) and continue to improve their abilities to communicate via the written word. There is no greater gift to bestow oneself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
