Life keeps happening, and that&#8217;s a good thing, but sometimes it happens so quickly and with such intensity that it&#8217;s hard to find the time to pause for reflection&#8211;even though it is so very important.

		<description><![CDATA[I teach the first year composition sequence at a community college. These are required writing courses for all transfer students&#8211;the majority of the students who pass through the institution.
