New Blog Hotness

So, as some of you know, I've started teaching an after-school writing program in a public school in the Mission. I've taught 4 classes at this point. After the first week, I didn't think I'd last the month. I was told I was the devil on several occasions, that I was fat, I had a big nose (I told you Sara), and that my class sucked. I had girls hitting each other and trying to drown each other in the puddles on the playground. But this week ended with one of the girls saying, "This was so much fun!! Can we do it again?? At first I thought it would suck, because it was writing, but it was awesome!" Oh hells yes. I molded their little 4th grade minds and they loved it!! Anyway, I'm starting a blog for them, in hopes that the prospect of seeing their writing "published" will motivate them to write more. They come up with some pretty amazing stuff when they actually try. I think anyone who enjoys reading my blog will probably love theirs, especially when you think of me standing in front of them, encouraging them to stop beating each other and to instead tell me more about where the zombies live....
