Growing Together
Living means that we are still growing. As long as we live we shall grow - we must grow. The second we stop growing is the same instant we stop living.
No one is all knowing. We are here to learn - to acquire knowledge - so that we may continue growing into more educated, articulate, responsible, mature, empowered, and capable individuals prepared to take on the world.
My job as your teacher is to nurture your growth. Your job as a student is to dedicate yourself fully to your growth as a student and human being as you move toward adulthood.
This English class will be challenging, but not impossible. You will do much reading and writing. You will work hard. You will get better every day. I believe in you, and I hope you believe in yourself.
