On Teaching

I want my students to see value in their stories. I want my students to take creative risks. I want my students to find their voices. I want my students to realize that as a human they are part of a creative culture that, no matter the era, has only wanted to be heard and understood. I push my students to the brink of their creativity and then push them further, challenging them, encouraging them to be the best writers they can be so that they have stories they are proud of.
