Welcome to Class: Five Things to Do Before the First Day

If you're an English major, you're in the wrong place. Go away. There is nothing for you here. As for the rest of you—with your heads on right, rather than moaning over the past participle—let’s get down to business. I’m Ms. Wilson-Young, a lowly English teacher in the middle of Georgia. I’ve been teaching at technical and two-year colleges for the majority of my 20-year career, and I know you just want to pass a college English class or two, with as few scars as possible, and get on with your life. I’m here to help. And maybe even inspire you to do better than just pass.
