I loved my high school English classes and my teachers because they introduced me to new people, and different ideas and cultures. I was inspired and they helped me leave behind my difficult home life with my disabled dad and the memory of my mother who was gone. My question is how do you become an inspiring English professor that impacts student lives in a positive way. I ask this question because of my family background and my desire to do well as a college professor someday. Thank you! #Spring 25
