[This week, I start my 21st year at Fitchburg State! So as usual, I’ll offer some previews of the semester ahead, this time focusing on individual moments I’m looking forward to in each class. Leading up to a weekend update on my plans for season 2 of my podcast!]
Last Fall,
I ended my Fall semester preview series with a
post sharing my excitement about my older son Aidan’s first semester in
college. He had a great Fall, and a great first year overall, which makes me
that much more excited for this Fall when we’re doubling up the excitement:
Aidan will be starting his second year at
Vanderbilt; and my younger son Kyle will be starting his own first year at
Michigan. In a very special Saturday
Evening Post Considering History column
this past June, I reflected on just how much I’ve learned about American
history and stories from the boys’ academic experiences, and I ended that post with
a Native American poet and artist (Tommy Pico)
about whom I learned from one of Aidan’s first-year classes. I’m sure there
will be a lot more such lessons across both boys’ semester and years, and I
look forward to sharing some of them with y’all here!
Special
post this weekend,
Ben
PS. What
do y’all have coming up?
