Also, reading those darn papers can be the hardest part about teaching. Night after night, day after day. On another note . . . I'm not sure why a blog administrator removed Jessmyne Stephenson's comment. If he or she is reading this, I would appreciate an answer. Thank you.John B.

My mom teaches English/writing, and I grew up with a stack of papers perpetually on the kitchen table. Swore to myself I'd never teach. (Funny thing is, I was a special ed. teacher for awhile and loved it, but then again they didn't write papers, I just wrote reports!)<br /><br />Be well,<br />LorenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751196535459576514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680746770808032142.post-64319357660954428052013-11-07T08:23:48.523-08:002013-11-07T08:23:48.523-08:00A fantastic story with such honest truism.

So g...Oh, my goodness, John, what a beautiful post! So glad you "recycled" it. Anyone who does something in the creative realm at one time or the other thinks, "What in the world do I think I'm doing? I'm no good at this." We can be our own worst critics. Maybe not just creatives think this way. When I wore my administrative hat, I remember times I left a meeting thinking, "Well, I blew that!" I'll share this for sure. (I gotta admit, I'm so self-conscious writing this post for someone who teaches creative writing! Talk about pressure to get it "right."

Suzanne, it's amazing how a disability can sometimes facilitate an ability. One door closes, and another opens.<br />John B.
