More to learn... 06/03/2011
As a teacher, I am a proponent of lifelong learning. I believe we must continue to learn new skills, information, and better ways to do all that we do. It is not a new line of thinking that lifelong learners are more likely to thrive throughout the various phases of our lives. Even though I know this, I am still surprised when I learn something that changes my life. Although these thoughts fit several aspects of my life, I am referring to my website. The site is about to end the first month of its existence. In that time, there have been more than 200 page views! The most popular page is this one! The blog! Who knew? Certainly not me. I would have never guessed that the blog would be more popular than my stories. But, I also would have never guessed that I would have a website where visitors could read my writing. It isn't something I considered myself capable of , not to mention it didn't occur to me to just put my work out there in cyberspace and share it with anyone who might be interested. I guess the biggest discovery of all is that people are interested in reading my work! I love teaching children to read. I know that literacy will impact their lives forever no matter what paths they choose. Just like the child who learns a new skill, this new information has impacted my writing life. I am writing regularly, submitting my work, and receiving valuable feedback. I am truly learning how to be a writer while I am becoming a better writer. What about you? Tell me something you learned that changed your life. Leave a comment, email, facebook or tweet. Anxious to hear about your lifelong learning! JKH Add Comment |
