With this foundation of thinking, I strive to design lessons and projects for a future classroom that will inspire students to make life their own, and to responsibly and respectfully learn about the beauty life has to offer through the diversity that exists between individuals. The vignette is an accessible writing style that allows for expression of experience in such a way that even the most resistant writer might feel irresistibley compelled to give it a try.
