Dear Learners,

I’m a big believer in succeeding through failure. Some people call it “fake it til you make it.” What they mean is pay attention, act like the kind of person who knows what they’re doing, and pick it up as you go along. That’s what we’re doing in school. We act like readers, writers, and thinkers, do the types of things they do, keep at it (even when we’re not real sure what we’re doing), and soon it just starts to make sense.

But you have to show up and you have to pay attention.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
