Visions of Grandeur: August 2007
http://patdangerwu.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 6, 2007. It's the spring of 2000 and I'm only a few days away from my high school graduation. Bobby Snow, a mild mannered classmate of mine, who I have gone to school with for as long as I can remember, comes up to me. So, wha-what are you g-g-going to study in college, Pat? He asks in the most non-judgmental of ways. I'm not sure yet, Bobby. I think I may want to teach," I responded not knowing for sure at all. I cannot help but laugh when I think about a future student with Bobby's same ...

Visions of Grandeur: How to Overcome a Fear of Commitment
http://patdangerwu.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-overcome-fear-of-commitment.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2007. How to Overcome a Fear of Commitment. Teaching is hard work.even if you’re bad at it. Actually, especially if you're bad at it. Don’t worry if you’re one of my students or a parent. I’m doing my best to get better at it and I doubt you’ll find few teachers as dedicated, passionate and hard-working as I’ve been in my first month. Perhaps the most appropriate posting I should write about has to do with last week’s. Magazine’s Special Issue dedicated to Service in America. And m...

Visions of Grandeur: January 2008
http://patdangerwu.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2008. Serving Those Who Wish to Serve. For the amount of writing that my students do, it is probably not too much to ask from me to write more than once every four months. However, this makes me think a lot of choice. I can choose when and what I want to write about. However my students do not necessarily have that choice to and there is a chance that they may never get that ability to choose. Having access to my college network and the middle class peers that I have worked and went t...

Visions of Grandeur: June 2008
http://patdangerwu.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 8, 2008. One Ball Can Change the World. In 1982, Italy’s World Cup victory helped to unite a country that was trying to overcome a decade of national terrorism known as the anni di piombo. In 2010, South Africa will become the first sub-Saharan country to host the World Cup, an amazing opportunity to showcase the growth and development of a country still feeling the wounds of apartheid and still fighting the challenges of extreme poverty and HIV/AIDS. This summer, I will be travelling with 5...
