Just wanted to say that in the few months I've been here, I feel like I've improved a lot as a writer.
This site is also helping me as a teacher! Lately, I've been inspired to complement my grammar lessons with creative writing tasks for my ESL students, and writing my paper for the principal's license was much less intimidating due to the comments that several people PM'd me about my work being interesting. (I may not get the license without having to do a 300-hour professional development, but at least I'm confident that the folks from the education departent won't be bored with what I submit!)
In short, my time here is both fun and educational. (And I really am keeping this post short because students will be here in five minutes!)
Thanks, MS Members!
