“If you become a teacher, by your students you’ll be taught.” -Oscar Hammerstein II

If that quote seems familiar to you, you might be a musical theatre fan. It’s from “Getting to Know You” from The King and I. Dear readers, you may not know this about me, but I am a huge fan of musical theatre. I also used to teach Theatre Appreciation at College of Coastal Georgia. I’m from a teaching family. Both my mother and her mother were teachers. I value education. Teaching is hard work, but if your heart is in it, the work is worth it. We need to make sure our teachers feel appreciated and supported, because they are asked to deal with a whole lot on a daily basis.

As much as I loved teaching, I love learning more. There’s a reason I made it onto Jeopardy! I am a consumer of facts. As I get older, however, I long for the learning of skills and practices. I’ve always left the visual arts to others in my family, but this month’s artist and profiled women have me thinking it’s not too late to try that new thing. Will I sign up for one of Tracy’s online art classes, or learn crochet at a local shop? Hopefully, I’ll be able to give you an update next month.
