It is a teacher's hope to be able to read essays that her students wrote and be impressed.  And it finally happened this time. The stack of essays on George Orwell's 1984 has been the best that I have read this year. My AP students are finally getting how to write an analytical essay, it seems.

So here is my attempt at blogging once more. Let's see whether I can keep up this time.

    I am a mother, wife, and English teacher. I moved from Korean when I was 23 without speaking English. Now I teach English. I want to be an Educational-Neuroscientist when I grow up!
