I am in my seventh year at Bosque School, and I'm thrilled to be teaching
Senior English. I received my undergraduate degree (in English, Economics,
and Theology--I couldn't decide and they spoke to each other beautifully!)
at the University of Notre Dame. I completed both a masters and a doctoral
degree in English at the University of New Mexico, and because it was free,
an executive MBA at UNM as well.
I found my way to Bosque after about ten years in the business world, and,
like Dorothy, I don't expect to leave home again anytime soon.
When I was not much older than you seniors, a good friend gave me a gift of
two questions that I've returned to throughout my life. The first was "What
is worth my life?" and the second was "How can I best love?"
Senior year seems to be all about making choices, making decisions, and
answering many specific questions about the future. In addition to all
the educational goals you'll find on my syllabus, I hope my class will
provide you with an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, enjoy the
present, and think big thoughts about big questions.
