My name is Michael Willems and I am in the Education faculty at the University of Lethbridge. I am in my fourth year and hope to be graduating in 2014. I am originally from Calgary, AB, but I love living in Lethbridge now. I am an English major with a minor in Psychology. When I am not out traveling—which is something I am constantly attempting to remedy—I am at home working on my own creative writing projects. I have a passion for spoken word poetry and for getting people excited about literature. I work at a bookstore, which is a dream job as it allows me to feed my obsession for reading (by funding and providing me with the material). I am also passionate about music, both playing it (trumpet and vocals) and listening to it. I grew up with a father who taught computers and English and passed those skills on to me, a mother who cut hair for seniors who taught me the need for compassion and empathy, and two sisters who taught me how to come outside of my bookworm shell and socialize with the world. My environment has had a really positive effect on my desire for learning, and I hope one day to positively affect my students' environment as well.
Welcome to my blog!
