Tonight is the beginning of the spring course of the adult ed creative writing class I have been facilitating for the past few years.
I will never forget the anxiety I felt teaching my first adult ed class. You’d think after 38 years of teaching high school, I would have been calm about the whole thing. But I had never taught adults before,
Thus, I greeted the adult students and confessed, “You know, I’m feeling kind of nervous about teaching this class —- I’ve heard that working with adults can get rather rough.”
Thankfully, they all laughed —- and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
