Pick out what's good and encourage that. It is too easy to focus on the negative. As a writer who understands rejection very well, it has humbled me. Another set of eyes always helps during the editing process. Sometimes a writer just needs to be set on the correct path, and they can do much of the rest from there. Being a parent has also taught me patience, which is something any teacher needs. Also, reading helps you become a better writer. I think when I was younger I didn't want to hear that as much, but it's true. While I have made a living as a technical writer in the software industry for sixteen years, part of making a life has been through my creative writing.

I have studied english in college. I know how to write and how to write to get the good grades. My teaching style is to meet the student and learn his or her personality. Each student is a different individual with different learning styles. When you can incorporate the perfect learning style with each individual to match his or her own interests, the student will actually learn and retain the knew information. I have enjoyed life to the fullest and in the same sense gained most of my experience from enjoying the companies of others. I have traveled and lived in other countries. What I get most out of life is the experience and new opportunities presented to us daily. Each person is different and each life is played out in a different manner. You can make your life the greatest thing that you have ever lived, but it is up to you. You have to find that inner self that drives you t
