more than just a mom
i am now a professor. i real one. like with a faculty id card and everything. i had my first two class meetings this week. for six hours a week (including travel time), i am not diaper-changer extrodinaire. i am teaching freshman composition at city tech, cuny in brooklyn heights. BUT, it is for high schoolers to help them prepare for college... and get college credit. i have sixteen students, 12 seniors....one homeschooler...... it is free for them as part of a city-wide program to help new york pubic school kids prepare for college as their high schools seem to not be doing such a great job. so far..... fun. i freaked out last weekend as i was prepping my syllabus. had a break though and am excited about some of the things we will be reading... and helping them to engage with the texts, me, each other, and their writing. very cool!
