Editing Your Language Quirks
Recently struggling to polish my prose, an outline emerged from the word salad, a problem. I was repeatedly creating sentences which sounded good to me but were lousy English. These bastards finished with all the action, the accent, the “oomph” at their tail ends. My heritage language had stepped on my English; I had been writing with a German word order.

Margaret PanPublished about a month ago in EducationThe Day I Cried in College
As an artist, I often tell people that one of the scariest things I do on a regular basis is to walk into a shop, show my art to the proprietor and ask if they are willing to sell it. I’ve talked myself into doing this scary thing many times, but it’s still nerve-wracking. One of the scariest things I have ever done in my life, though, was to walk into our local community college and ask for directions to the registration office. On my last day of high school more than forty years earlier, I had walked out promising myself I would never set foot in a classroom again.

Café y Humanidad
I had never met a man so full of passion for coffee, and more than anything, full of humanity. It only happens once, in a lifetime, to come across a person with a compelling disposition. A person who despite having the right to safeguard themselves and their triumphs after overcoming brutal turbulent roads across systematic and corporate America, still, that individual chooses to fight for the lives and well-being of others.

The younger grand returns to school soon. I’m proud of the effort he puts into his schoolwork and sports. I know that sometimes he’s tired and second guesses his aspirations.
