Sharing Myself with the World
Deartra D. Boone, Professor
Introduction
Welcome to my personal e-portfolio.
This site is a look at my professional career as a college English Professor and writer.
At the age of 9, I began writing poetry. My love of writing grew from writing poetry to recite at church programs to self-publishing short stories. In the near future, I plan to publish a novel. I write everyday, and believe that everyone is a writer.
The philosophy that everyone is a writer led me to become an English professor. I currently teach Freshman English Composition and Technical Writing at the junior college level. I teach my students that they can become better writing by respecting the writing process, and using numerous other writing tools that I teach them. I am always happy when one of my students tell me... "I used to hate writing, but after taking your class, I changed my mind."
"Creativity is an Act of DEFIANCE!"
