Hello, Everyone. It is an honor to become a Wikipedia editor. I know it will take time for me to be able to work comfortably and productively within the Wikipedia framework. But I'm happy my User Name was accepted, and I'm ready to jump in. Words and information are my passion. For many years I have been a freelance journalist, writer, and editor in the fields of business, diversity, and the arts. In addition, I teach developmental English at my local community college. I help incoming students acquire the skills they need for Comp 1 -- Freshman English. I teach them reading, writing, and grammar--essential tools for life which they missed out on in high school--or have forgotten, if they are mid-career students. This is my second career, and I enjoy immensely. In fact, I'd like to share some of my teaching adventures with you. But, instead, since it is getting late, as Forrest Gump (well, Tom Hanks) said, talking about his mom's death, "And that's all I have to say about that." (For now!) Apriljean14
