#MotivationalMonday Last Week of My First Semester

As an instructor of the tutorial sections of Rhetoric and Composition I with Tutorial, this week marks my last week of classes for the semester. This will be the first of many last weeks, but I feel somewhat wistful as I prepare to bid farewell to my first batch of students. However, I am motivated to send them off before the Thanksgiving break feeling confident in their writing and ready for the new challenges the spring semester will present to them. I also hope to gain new tutoring clients as a result of this semester — unless, of course, I teach them next semester. Although I may intend to become a full-time professor at some point, my heart still calls to provide students with individual instruction to finesse their grammar and writing skills. Cheers to a great first semester in the classroom!
