Class Assignment
During my first two years at MIU, 1977–1979, by day I ran Project WRITE (the freshman writing-across-the-curriculum program – Writing and Revising for Intelligent Thought and Expression), while by night I was a student in the university’s master’s program in higher education administration, along with about 150 other TM teachers who had come to help administer the university.
One of the courses was on education and was taught by the legendary Dr. Susie Levin Dillbeck. One of the assignments in that course was to describe an experience in school that resulted in refinement of the heart and the emotions. I couldn’t recall having had such an experience, so instead of turning in a narrative essay I turned to verse and submitted this.
I don’t recall whether Dr. Susie gave me a grade on it.
