Things change.  Constantly.  I believe those whom I was lucky enough to teach last school year learned that lesson.  It's one that is constantly re-learned.  Last year, I tried to show you that you are capable of producing far more than you gave yourselves credit for.  This upcoming school year I will do no different.  I have every intention of challenging you to create works of art.  You will become playwrites and poets.  You will consider every word for its worth and intent.  You will read and write and offer no excuses because you know what you can accomplish.  You showed me what you can accomplish.  You showed yourselves what you can accomplish.  Now, accomplish more.  This year, you will be responsible for so much more.  Tell me what you're working on and I'll give you time to work on it.  I'll help you, but the pacing will be up to you.  I will teach you what I know, and explore with you the things that I don't.  You will succeed.   I'm looking forward to it.
