What I Could Have Done Differently

Daily writing prompt
What could you do differently?

What could I have done differently in my life, so that I would be better off now? I could have Learned how to take Cornell Notes. I could have been more interested in how to load a dishwasher. I could have taken a speed-reading course, and a public speaking course. I could have been more organized and focused. I could have asked for more help. But I didn’t. Now, at the ripe old age of 62 almost 63, I have to try and catch up; or, I can just accept who and what I have become, and leave it at that. I’m really tired. Maybe I’ll just do that last thing. I can still try to “Brighten the Corner” where I am. Do you know that old song?

I identify as a teacher of English for English language learners, EC, and Social Studies; I have expertise in the humanities, am experienced in studying Language Arts, Reading, Arithmetic-for-practical-purposes, and Algebra-I. I have striven to broaden and deepen my capabilities to maintain my integrity as a worker in the American economy since 1977 when I started working, as a cashier in fast food. Since then, I have served as a camp counselor, a work-study student in college, a puppet-wagon lady in the summer. I tutored privately, and in an academic institution and with a Learning Center. I taught as an intern teacher, a licensed teacher, and a Community College Instructor. I have also been a retail administrative assistant, and a caregiver.
