Reflections on your center experience:

• Did your work with us influence your educational or occupational choices? If so, how? I thought I wanted to teach English at the college level and working with the Writing Center helped. However, I was adjunct faculty at National American University for a few years and hated the for-profit "education" world.
• What are the most significant abilities, values, or skills that you developed in your work with us? The ability to help someone figure out how to correct and improve their own work—and not just correct it for him or her.
