Carolyn and I celebrate at NISOD in Austin in May, 1997.
Professor of Composition and Literature
Phi Theta Kappa Advisor
Instruction in English Language, Literature and General Humanities
Personal Vision Statement
I envision a world filled with joy and peace attained by devotion to
the ideals of
- education for enhancing self-esteem;
- service to others through teaching;
- expression through the arts of our spiritual oneness with the universe;
and
- honesty with self and others.
Personal Mission Statement
I endeavor to use my position :
- to enhance the self esteem of each person I associate with by providing
and participating in experiences which allow for growth and honest, reliable
responses to situations we share;
- to pursue spiritual growth through religious experiences, the arts,
and alliance with nature; and
- to seek out opportunities to experience peace and joy and to share
those occasions with those with whom I come in contact.
Some Thoughts
I derive my energy from working with students. Teaching English Composition
is challenging and rewarding because I have seen how a student's self esteem
can improve through development of writing and editing skills.
The two-year college movement is exciting and invigorating, and I believe
in the importance of lifelong learning. I have appreciated my learning
experiences as a teqacher and as a student during my twenty-six years of
association with Oklahoma City Community College.
