This is a copy of my first mentor’s roast / reflection about me which were read by her at the graduation ceremony for The Teaching Institute interns. I’ve included this piece here largely for its entertainment value, but also because it gives a sense of both my presence in the classroom and the jocular tone I seek to establish with my colleagues.
For good measure, I have also included the video of Billy Collins reading his poem, Litany.
