...my skills in the process. I am not just interested in reading and writing in an academic sense. One of my favorite sources of analysis and pleasure comes from the story-telling of the nouveau Golden Era of television (Mad Men, Deadwood, Better Call Saul, et cetera), and also the story-telling of professional wrestling.

Self-reliance, a positive attitude, the benefits of practice, being responsible: these lessons enable students...
