Book Cover & Preview Text
Indeed,
it was that first day of my initial encounter with college teaching when her
words finally resonated within my psyche. I recall how she spoke them with
fervor and quiet fortitude: I am a human
being, nothing human is alien to me. Attributing the phrase to Plubius
Terentius Afer, a
former slave in the ancient Roman Empire, she explained that beyond our
differences, there are human conditions that affect us all.

About the Book
Erudition is a process. What is learned in the present often has more meaning during your life experiences, which have yet to come. Candid and concise, My Teacher, Maya Angelou illustrates this point.
The book begins with a description of the author’s initial encounter with college teaching. Abridged excerpts from the author’s learning journal, while under the tutelage of Professor Angelou, then follow. At the end, a personal Learning Journal is included for the reader. Explicit suggestions are given to initiate the reflection and writing process.
Adapted from the educational diary of a former student, this book is evocative and refined, a poignant narrative of few words and high impact. Celebrate and share the pleasure that evolves through learning and self discovery.
