My mother predicted that I wouldn't enjoy a career in journalism, and she pressed me to consider education. It was at her urging that I enrolled in my first education course during my junior year of college. I am grateful for her guidance in steering me toward a career that has brought me much happiness. I have come to accept that teaching is not at all about me, but entirely about my students. I love to teach writing because it is a fundamental skill of the working world.
Some people even write for recreation.
I know I am teaching something useful, interesting, and important, and that makes me feel fantastic. I love to teach writing on computers because technology can enhance the drafting, revising, editing, and proofreading stages of the writing process for many people. Computers probably aren't going away any time soon, and I enjoy puttering around with them. I do most of my personal writing on a computer, and it allows me to use my time, skills, and creativity more efficiently.
