Other than becoming the next Flannery O'Connor and/or Meg Wolitzer...
I want to leave this earth knowing that I helped my students discover their voice.
I want to reacquaint them with "writing for pleasure", until the two are inseparable.
I want to students to recognize the written word as one of the most universal and transcendent vehicles of communication, and then for them to participate and share.
I want students to drive their voice into the map of shared human experience, not like a pin, but a railroad spike.
I want them to know why a sentence can be as profound as a novel.
I want them to use words as a release.
I want them to use words as therapy.
I want their words to heal.
I want to produce Martin Luther Kings, Hemingways, Dickens, Wells, Hawthornes, Poes, and Woolfs.
I want to create writers.
Either that or have the largest collection of shoes in 3 counties.
