Nemrac's profile

Gosh, what should I say…Well, I’m a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.A. in English and American Language and Literature with my concentration in writing. I’ve probably been putting my hopes, fears, my personal pedagogy in tattered college-ruled notebooks, journals and letters to my mama or cousin for about 15 years now.

Gosh, what should I say…Well, I’m a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.A. in English and American Language and Literature with my concentration in writing. I’ve probably been putting my hopes, fears, my personal pedagogy in tattered college-ruled notebooks, journals and letters to my mama or cousin for about 15 years now. Recently, the strong desire to become a teacher has overtaken me so, that’s what is most important to me now. For most of my undergraduate career, I wrote for 3 reasons: because it was a requirement for the degree, it was the best outlet to truly express how I was feeling and because I wanted to get better at it. Now that I’ve got the degree, I suppose I write or blog simply for reasons 2 and 3. Sometimes it seems that we are in such a hurry. I’m the slow, methodical type, taking one day at a time. I write to live and exist, my words graceful expressions that I am unable to stammer. My words are more than verbal declarations, there pretty much parts of my life for all to see. Where do I want my writing to take me? I’m not sure but here’s hoping that the members of urbis will help me continue to better myself in the craft.
