With thirteen years experience as an Assistant Professor in English, writing, and composition at Georgia Southern University, I have acquired experience teaching writing and composition, creative writing, critical thinking and logic, online learning, research methods, first year college experience, student-centered learning, editing, grammar, and literature. How I Help Students to Stop Striving and Start ThrivingI know what it’s like to work hard for something and overcome obstacles to your dreams. I know what it’s like to not have things handed to you. I know what it’s like to watch the other guy get ahead when you don’t. I know what it’s like to learn things when they don’t come naturally to you. I know what it’s like to persist on days you don’t even know what you’re doing or if you’ll make it. I take these personal experiences and use them to relate to you with understanding and care. I have many achieved goals in spite of challenges, and I can help you do the same, because I understand what it’s like to be there. I help students Stop Striving and Start Thriving.Being Your InstructorAfter finishing school, I learned to teach others to write by being thrown into a college writing classroom with little experience. With the help of other amazing teachers, I taught myself how to teach while I was doing it. In this twelve year experience, I learned to make writing fun and easy to understand for students at different levels in the writing process. Strong teaching evaluations from students backed that there was something to the techniques I was using, because students were benefiting from them. In the end, my chief goal is always to help students learn, enjoy, and love writing.BackgroundI obtained a BA in English Literature at Georgia Southern University, an MA in English Literature at Georgia Southern University, and an MFA (terminal degree) in Creative Writing (with thesis in poetry) at Sewanee School of Letters at University of the South. I am passionate about human creativity and learning, and helping students make new connections and achieve personal empowerment through their writing.Personal InterestsI’m on a mission to help those who are hurting to cope, help those who have failed to succeed, and help those with mental illnesses to stop striving and start thriving. My focus is especially to help those that don’t succeed the first time, or perhaps the tenth. You can make it if you don’t give up and learn smart. As a teacher and lifelong learner, I’m excited to engage my creativity and expertise to help students and other learners engage in empowering learning experiences that will help them succeed in their careers, education, and lives.Website:https://www.udemy.com/the-gift-of-gratitude/Quote:GeneralComplete name                            : Stop Striving and Start Thriving – The Gift of Gratitude1 – The Gift of Gratitude – Stop striving and Start Thriving – Introduction1 – Introduction.mp4Format                                   : MPEG-4Format profile                           : Base Media / Version 2Codec ID                                 : mp42 (isom/iso2/avc1/mp41/mp42)File size                                : 40.7 MiBDuration                                 : 5 min 3 sOverall bit rate mode                    : VariableOverall bit rate                         : 1 126 kb/sEncoded date                             : UTC 2016-06-24 22:05:51Tagged date                              : UTC 2016-06-24 22:05:51Writing application                      : Lavf53.32.100VideoID                                       : 1Format                                   : AVCFormat/Info                              : Advanced Video CodecFormat profile                           : High@L3Format settings, CABAC                   : YesFormat settings, Reframes                : 4 framesCodec ID                                 : avc1Codec ID/Info                            : Advanced Video CodingDuration                                 : 5 min 2 sBit rate                                 : 934 kb/sWidth                                    : 1 280 pixelsHeight                                   : 720 pixelsDisplay aspect ratio                     : 16:9frame rate mode                          : Constantframe rate                               : 30.000 FPSColor space                              : YUVChroma subsampling                       : 4:2:0Bit depth                                : 8 bitsScan type                                : ProgressiveBits/(Pixel*frame)                       : 0.034Stream size                              : 33.7 MiB (83%)Writing library                          : x264 core 136Encoding settings                        : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=7 / psy=0 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=48 / lookahead_threads=5 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=16 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=300 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc=2pass / mbtree=0 / bitrate=934 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30 / aq=1:1.00Encoded date                             : UTC 2016-06-24 22:05:51Tagged date                              : UTC 2016-06-28 16:00:30AudioID                                       : 2Format                                   : AACFormat/Info                              : Advanced Audio CodecFormat profile                           : LCCodec ID                                 : 40Duration                                 : 5 min 3 sBit rate mode                            : VariableBit rate                                 : 192 kb/sMaximum bit rate                         : 195 kb/sChannel(s)                               : 2 channelsChannel positions                        : Front: L RSampling rate                            : 48.0 kHzframe rate                               : 46.875 FPS (1024 spf)Compression mode                         : LossyStream size                              : 6.85 MiB (17%)Default                                  : YesAlternate group                          : 1Encoded date                             : UTC 2016-06-24 22:05:51Tagged date                              : UTC 2016-06-28 16:00:30
