What today holds

Today is my first day as a community college instructor. I’ll be teaching Language Arts, which one friend commented is just a fancy name for English. I have some hopes that I can talk the math dean into giving me an Algebra class or two. All those years of Calculus in Engineering school have to be good for something.

I truly love teaching, so am looking forward to this opportunity. I’m considering what to wear today. My most inspirational English teacher in high school was famous for her hot pinks and reds- hot pink nails, red clothes, pink lipstick. I could never pull off garish like she did, but the hot colors contributed to the excitement in the classroom, so maybe I will at least wear my red shoes in her honor.
