This week at our staff meeting, Mr. Lewis gave us an article that describe the book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure by Smith Magazine. The book is a collection of six word phrases that describe specific peoples' lives, jobs, beliefs, accomplishments, etc. He then asked us to come up with a six-word memoir for ourselves. It was difficult, but I did it, although I have to give some credit to a speaker I heard at a conference. Some of my memoir is his idea.

I would like to leave the students I teach with the idea that books are good and that writing is fun (or at least not that bad) and that if they can survive high school, they can do anything- even teach!!
