This year, I find myself thinking about the students in my ENGL 101 class, none of whom were born yet back in 2001. I met with one-on-one conferences with six of them today and every single one of them impressed me, albeit in different ways--and these are six pretty different students. Some of the conversations affirmed what I suspected about the students and their abilities. Some of the conversations surprised me--each time in a positive way.
Each one made me feel hopeful about the future, an emotion that is quite welcome to ride side-by-side with all of the other emotions of this anniverary.
