Rite of passage
Brittany Gilbert turned twenty-one a few days ago. We threw a surprise party for her—something
they don’t have in China. There is a Chinese version of the Happy Birthday song
which our Chinese counterparts sang.I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
